Usage Note 10611: ACCMEM on AIX 5.1 calculated incorrectly

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
On HP and Solaris systems, the ACCMEM field that is read from the binary
PACCT file represents the number of memory pages used by the process.
This value is then multiplied by page size and divided by system and
user time to arrive at a value that matches the MEAN SIZE(K) value in
the ACCTCOM report.

On AIX systems, the ACCMEM field already matches the MEAN SIZE(K) in
the ACCTCOM report.  Further manipulation of this figure can produce
inaccurate results, and will not be comparable to values obtained on
other systems.
