You were lucky; I've encountered far too many auditors who did not know what to look for and at best could follow a cookbook, and not always an appropriate cookbook. OTOH, a good auditor is a resource to be treasured.

IEASYS LIST = (00,SA,20) (OP) ... Mark's IPLINFO rexx shows OPI=YES, Default </snip> The OPI setting is reset as each IEASYSxx is processed, and it defaults to "YES". So as each IEASYSxx member is processed, its OPI value is set as the single OPI value that can be displayed after IPL. That is what is going on. That has little to do with what OPI=xxx values were in effect for the set of IEASYSxx members. So yes if for some reason you want the display to show "NO" then you will need OPI=NO in the last IEASYSxx. But that provides no useful information for cases where you have multiple IEASYSxx's. Only by manual examination can you see that all IEASYSxx's had OPI=NO in effect (and that no individual IEASYSxx parameter had specified OPI). If your audit wants to know that there was no use of OPI=YES (or OPI for an individual parameter), you're not going to be have a happy auditor unless they're willing to examine all the IEASYSxx's that were identified as being used.
