AUDIT Keyword—ACID Activity

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the AUDIT keyword to allow an audit of ACID activity.

Note: AUDIT is a reserved ACID name.

When used with a permission, this keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) AUDIT

When used as a reserved ACID, this keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(AUDIT) resource class(resource name)
                 [ACCESS(level1, level2, …)]

Notes:

Any masking character in a resource name added to the AUDIT Record is treated as a literal. For this reason resource names containing masks should not be added to the AUDIT Record.
A resource defined to the AUDIT record cannot exceed 64 characters.
ACCESS(NONE) is ignored. If access is not specified, ACCESS(ALL) is assumed.
If the resource class in the RDT has the default GENERIC attribute, to audit only the non-generic resource name enclose the resource name in apostrophes with a trailing space.

This keyword is used with:

The ACID types User, Profile, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
ACID(AUDIT) authority to ADDTO or REMOVE the AUDIT attribute from ACIDs within their scope
