2 Parameters
Username
   Any valid Username on this computer system.  Limited wildcarding:
   a partial username may be used followed by an asterisk (*), then
   bills for all Usernames will display starting at that specification.
   See also /USERNAME .

   If not specified, then your Username is used.
2 Qualifiers
/ACCOUNT
   /ACCOUNT=account
   where account is any valid account number or name,  e.g. 99-9999
   or SYSTEM .  Bills for all usernames on this account will be displayed.
   The display will be followed by a total for all displayed users.

   Limited wildcarding:  a partial account number or name may be used
   followed by an asterisk (*), then bills for all the rest of the
   accounts will display starting at that specification.
   Example:
            BILL/ACCOUNT=*        displays all accounts
/COMPRESS
   /COMPRESS
   Forces BILL to compress the display as much as possible (at the cost
   of understandability).  Intended for permanent Cost Center records.
/FILE
   /FILE=file-spec
   Forces BILL to use the specified indexed accounting file
   rather than the current month's.  Directory is assumed to be the
   system accounting directory if not specified.
   If the month specified is the current month, month-to-date bill
   is displayed, if not the current month, then that full month's
   bill is displayed.
   Example:
            BILL/FILE=DRC1:[ACCOUNTNG.1985]1985MAR   MANAGER
   displays the March 1985 bill for Username MANAGER.
/HELP
   Displays one line summary of syntax of the BILL command.
/UIC
   /UIC=uic
   where "uic" is a valid User Identification Code,  e.g. [123,10] .
   Bills for all Usernames with this UIC will be displayed.

   Limited wildcarding:  if the UIC is followed by an asterisk (*),
   bills for all UICs will display starting at that specification.
   Example:
            BILL/UIC=[0,0]*       will display all users' bills by UIC
/USERNAME
   /USERNAME=username
   where "username" is a valid Username on this computer system.
   This duplicates the function of the username Parameter.

   Limited wildcarding:
   the beginning of a username may be used followed by an asterisk (*), then
   bills for all Usernames will display starting at that specification.

   Example:
            BILL/USERNAME=*       will display all users' bills
