Audit Record Format

The audit file record format is defined in the VMXADT member of the VMXUSER MACLIB macro library. The defined assembler DSECT present in this COPY file describes the fields and length of the audit file records.

The VMXUSER MACLIB file is installed on the minidisk or SFS directory identified as LOCALSAM in the VMSES/E installation materials. The DSECT contained in this COPY file needs to be included in the AUDIT user exit or referenced by a COPY statement. The VMXUSER MACLIB should be added to the GLOBAL MACLIB list before the user exit is assembled.

When the AUDIT file record format is fixed-length records, each record will be 80 bytes long. When the record format is variable, each record may be up to 256 bytes long.
