I am going to submit a DCR that IBM add an OBJAUD option to CRTDEVPRT. The 
default option should be *LIB so that it can use the setting from
CHGLIB QSYS CRTOBJAUD(...)
However, IBM should allow us to change this with 
CHGCMDDFT CMD(CRTDEVPRT) NEWDFT('OBJAUD(*CHANGE)')
Because I may not want object auditing on all objects within QSYS.  One of 
the daily things I am finding I must do is:
ENDWTR newprinter
CHGOBJAUD newprinter  OBJTYPE(*DEVD) OBJAUD(*CHANGE)
and restart the writer.
Mimix has an option to try to change the object auditing value but it 
won't stop the writer.  And that has to be done before you can CHGOBJAUD.
I feel their pain.  Restarting a writer, when it can be local, remote, 
InfoPrint server, etc and getting all the options right, can be a pain. We 
wrote our own RSTWTR to determine what the proper start of the writer 
should be.
Therefore getting the object auditing right in the first place is the way 
to go.

Any Mimix aficionados out there want to submit a like DCR and help push 
this change through?
Or how else do you handle it?

====================================================
Detailed description of the request (including unique usage)*
====================================================
Mimix shop.  Mimix uses object auditing to help duplicate objects. 
However, when I create a printer device it defaults it to *NONE.  It does 
this because the new object only gets this value from:
WRKSYSVAL QCRTOBJAUT
and
CHGLIB ... CRTOBJAUD.
I don't want to start object auditing on everything in library QSYS, nor 
do I want to start object auditing on everything in the whole system. 
Therefore I need more granularity.

One of the daily things I am finding I must do is:
ENDWTR newprinter
CHGOBJAUD newprinter  OBJTYPE(*DEVD) OBJAUD(*CHANGE)

Add an OBJAUD option to CRTDEVPRT.  The default option should be *LIB so 
that it can use the setting from
CHGLIB QSYS CRTOBJAUD(...)
However, IBM should allow us to change this with 
CHGCMDDFT CMD(CRTDEVPRT) NEWDFT('OBJAUD(*CHANGE)')
Because I may not want object auditing on all objects within QSYS.
I can see other commands needing this option added in the future.
