All entry methods are accepted.

This control option has the following format:

MATCHLIM (nnnnn|CLEAR)

nnnnn

Sets the maximum number of loggings that can occur before auditing is discontinued for a specific resource or user. The default value is zero which indicates that match limit processing is not active and no loggings are suppressed.

Limits: 0 – 65535

Default: 0

CLEAR

Clears out all logging counts for resources and users that are being audited with MATCHLIM specified. Audit Match Limit processing continues using the existing maximum value.
