Audit trail file


Audit Trail files are created when Auditing is requested during the disguise operation. A separate Audit Trail file will be produced for each object being disguised.

The naming convention used for the Audit Trail files is:

prefix.RDXA.DnnnBnnn.Dyymmdd.Thhmmss.Msss

The prefix is specified when the Extract File is disguised. Dnnn identifies the number assigned to the object in the Extract File. Bnnn is only used when an Audit Trail is produced for an MVS object that uses an XREF; Bnnn is the layout number within the XREF.

The Audit Trail file has the following characteristics:

File organization

Sequential (DSORG=PS)

Record format

Variable-blocked Spanned (RECFM=VBS)

Logical record length

Maximum LRECL 32760

Use Option A - Print Audit in the Data Privacy Menu to print an audit trail file.
