You can also use journaling. That is way I set it up at last job. Each time
that an IFS files was added to a folder it fired a journal entry. The
journal calls an exit program that processes the entry.

 RCVJRNE JRN(IFS_AUDIT) EXITPGM(XV0015) JRNCDE((B))
    ENTTYP(JT) ENTFMT(*TYPE1)

I have code that does this if you are interested.
