Years ago I was asked for "complete" documentation of my tests of a newly installed mainframe product. As a joke I setup my new TV camera over my shoulder and recorded probably an hour of testing. I sent the auditor a DVD, fully expecting some kind of trouble because of my joke. I was really surprised when they said they liked the idea :)

I've done similar things to these clueless auditors in the past and once they 
see they actually have to do some work to get their precious output they 
typically change their tune.

you took the words right out of my mouth, I told our team auditor rep to ask them, 
"how to we use ISRDDN and provide the output you require", unfortunately this 
person is afraid to rock the boat, I on the other hand had some good teachers and was 
taught I need to be a pain, be a fly in the ointment !

Then I would go back and say

Please provide your tool to do this, as you do not want to trust one of mine

Lizette, you are absolutely correct and this is one of the options I provided, 
the only problem, the HITRUST contractor(s) tell us what commands, what tools 
to use to provide them what they require.
they require us to use ISRDDN, any other tool or command, in their eye's can be 
spoofed, faked

Why not go to SDSF APF and list there?

Or maybe in SDSF use CK and go to APF Health Check details.

You can use either depending on what your Auditors need.

The APF in SDSF can probably be captured with an ISFEXEC function.

Subject: Anyway to save ISRDDN output?

We have a HI TRUST requirement to use ISRDDN (only) to report on APF datasets 
and other system information. Is there a way to invoke ISRDDN and save the 
output to a dataset?
We've tried ISRDDN APF then save but it does not provide the APF info I 
requested. reading the find manual I don't see any options to allow us to save 
the output, any ideas?
thanks
