This is a surprise to me. Which release are you using?  Which audit record
are you looking at? The PS, CD, or some other one? Which field of that
audit record contains the password? Are you calling QSYGETPH from a CL
program that was created with the LOG parameter set to *YES or *JOB?

Perhaps sharing the source of the program that calls QSYGETPH would be
helpful. (Without any real hard-coded user IDs or passwords).
