Audit Inquiry by Field (SME017F)

Use Audited Inquiry by Field to see all changes made to a specified field or fields in audited files. You can limit the display by user and a date range. The Audit Changes Inquiry by Field program is available by right-clicking on a field in a graphical file maintenance program with audit capability or from the Audit menu on file maintenance programs that have audit capability. These are graphical file maintenance programs for users who have the File Maintenance Audit check box selected in the Administrator Privileges section of the Security tab in User Code F/M.

Specify the file and field name. You can optionally filter the results using the dates for the changes and the user code.

In the browser, the inquiry displays the date and time the field was changed, the key field, the value from which the field was changed and the new value, and the user making the change.

Note that in the Audited Changes Inquiry by Field program, the companion file fields are not visible in the field search. You can type in the field name, and the program will show audited changes for that field. The program will also not show the description of the field in the header if it's a companion field. This is because the companion file identity is unknown at that point.
