 From my System Values pitch on Auditing:
                      



Name:               QAUDCTL                                          V2 R3.0 

Description:        Audit Control
            

IBM Initial Value:  '*NONE' * 
                      Value is a list. 

Length & Type:      Character:  50
            


Valid Values and their Meanings: 
'*NONE'       No auditing occurs.  The system value QAUDLVL is inactive. 

        '*NOQTEMP'    Auditing for most objects in QTEMP is            V3
R6.0 
                      suppressed.  This value can only be specified in 
                      conjunction with *OBJAUD or *AUDLVL. 
'*OBJAUD'     The auditing of objects that have been selected by the Change
Object Audit (CHGOBJAUD) command is done. 
'*AUDLVL'     Auditing changes controlled by the QAUDLVL system value and
on the AUDLVL parameter of individual user profiles.  The audit level for a
user profile is specified by the Change User Audit (CHGUSRAUD) command. 

Comments:           QAUDCTL specifies when object and user level auditing
is active. 
When this value is changed to other than *NONE, the journal QSYS/QAUDJRN
must exist.  When this value is changed to other than *NONE, a journal
entry is sent to QSYS/QAUDJRN to verify the existence of the journal. 
User must have *AUDIT authority to change this system value. 










* When installing V2R3M0, if auditing is active (i.e.:  QAUDLVL is not
*NONE), this system value will be installed as *AUDLVL. 

 


Name:               QAUDLVL                                          V1 R3.0 

Description:        Audit Level
            

IBM Initial Value:  '*NONE' 
                      Value is a list. 

Length & Type:      Character:  160
            


Valid Values and their Meanings:
Effective: 


'*NONE'       No auditing occurs on the system. 
'*SAVRST'     Save restore information is audited. 
'*AUTFAIL'    Authorization failures are audited. 
'*DELETE'     All object deletions are audited. 
'*SECURITY'   All security related functions are audited. 
'*PGMFAIL'    Integrity violations are audited.                  V2 R1.0 
'*CREATE'     Object creates are audited.                        V2 R2.0 
'*OBJMGT'     Object moves and renames are audited.              V2 R2.0 
'*JOBDTA'     Actions that affect a job are logged.              V2 R3.0 
'*OFCSRV'     Changes to the system distribution directory       V2 R3.0 
                      and office mail actions are logged. 
'*PGMADP'     Obtaining authority from a program that adopts     V2 R3.0 
                      authority is logged. 
'*PRTDTA'     Printing (spooled and non-spooled) is logged.      V2 R3.0 
'*SERVICE'    Using service tools is logged.                     V2 R3.0 
'*SPLFDTA'    Actions that affect spooled files are logged.      V2 R3.0 
'*SYSMGT'     Use of system management functions is logged.      V2 R3.0 
'*OPTICAL'    Most optical functions are audited.                V3 R6.0 
'*NETCMN'     Violations detected by APPN security are audited.  V3 R7.0 

Comments:           When this value is changed to other than *NONE, the
journal QSYS/QAUDJRN must exist. 
Prior to implementing level 40 security, while at level 30, you must first
change the system value QAUDLVL to include *PGMFAIL.  This will log (but
will not deny access) security violations under level 40, so that
unsupported interfaces and MI instructions may be identified and corrected
before the system Security Level is changed from 30 to 40. 
A change is effective to this system value immediately for all new job
initiation. 
User must have *AUDIT authority to change this system value.
