Issue/Introduction

When executing the unit level parameter generation job,  
prefix.MICS.CNTL(SMFPGEN), the job might ABEND with the  
following SASLOG message while attempting to validate the
shareprefix.MICS.PARMS(ACCTRTE) account routine if some
user defined format is not found, or contains a SAS syntax error:                                 
                                                                 
ERROR 48-59: The format $format_name was not found or could not be   
             loaded.                                             
                                                                 
The SMFPGEN validation of ACCTRTE code occurs after          
all the component specific prefix.MICS.PARMS(SMFOPS)         
parameters checking, and component unit-level code generation
is complete.                                                 

The ACCTRTE is a complex level parms member.  Testing and   
validation of the account routine is beyond the scope of the
SMFPGEN parameter generator, and should be removed.         
                                                                 
Instructions for testing the SMF component account routine       
(sp.PARMS(ACCTRTE) is provided in the MICS Batch and             
Operations Analyzer guide.                  

                                                                 
IMPACT:                                                          
Minimal.  The ABEND can be ignored because the unit level   
parameter generation has completed successfully.            
                                                               
CIRCUMVENTION:                                                  
None
