Issue/Introduction

When trying to audit a userid only for 30 days the following command was issued:

TSS ADD(acid) AUDIT FOR(30)

This command added the AUDIT attribute to the ACID, but it also added an EXPIRES statement for 30 days from that date:

EXPIRES    = 08/17/23            

Is this a bug or working as designed? If working as designed, then is there a way to add the AUDIT attribute for a temporary period?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Resolution

This is working as designed. The add of AUDIT with "FOR" or "UNTIL" will cause the expiration to be added as well. There currently is not a way to add the AUDIT attribute for 30 days without expiring the acid at the end of the 30 days.
