Records in the billing file have a fixed length of 80 bytes.

The 30 byte description field (positions 20 thru 49) should be divided
as follows.

     -- The first three positions should be "WEB".
     -- The fourth position should be a space.
     -- The remaining 26 positions should be the web userid, followed
        by a colon(:), followed by as much of the web account (userid)
        description as will fit in the remaining area.

The following example records (not necessarily fully realistic) are
provided to illustrate what is needed.

The Web billing file will be processed by the Machine Accounting System
once a month, as part of month-end processing. Month-end processing does
not occur on the same date every month, but occurs somewhere between the
1st and the 15th. A specific schedule for each fiscal year is worked out
at the beginning of each year; Diane has a copy of the month-end dates.
Ideally, the process by which the Web billing file is prepared every
month should be as automated as possible; experience in other areas has
taught me that if the process is not fully automated, things tend to
"slip through the cracks" when the responsible person is out of the
office during a critical time. The Web billing file must be on the host
system so it can be accessed by the Machine Accounting System. If
necessary, we can talk with Michael later to work out the best way for
doing this.
