Steve,

Make sure that QAUDLVL contains *DELETE. It sounds to me like you may be
looking at the wrong fields in the DO audit record. (The object name and
library fields will contain *N when the object is a stream file or
directory.) The complete job name (including the user name) should be
included in the first few characters of each record. There is also a
current user profile field that may be filled in. If you are using DSPJRN
to display the audit record you should press "F10=Display only entry
details" to see the job name.

In V4R5 when a stream file is deleted the name of the file is not placed in
the record, but char(16) file Ids of the file and its parent will be placed
in the directory. But since the object was deleted you will not be able to
use the file Id to get its name. About the only thing you can do is to look
at previous audit records that may contain both the name of the file and
the same field Id.

The DO audit record was enhanced in V5R1 and possibly again in V5R2. It now
included the name and path of the deleted stream file.
