Resolution

There isn't a lot of PRINT reports that can be done against the FAQS/ASO options but there are two:

Using FAQSUTIL one can print the ACTION Message File.  See the FAQS/ASO Users Guide page 214 in the chapter FAQSUTIL Commands (Appendix G)

// EXEC FAQSUTIL       
PRINT STARTUP=msgfile 
/*

The FAQS Users ID can be displayed using  FAQSPRPW.  PTF LU19275 should be applied as this will add usage notes to the Command.  The following JCL is a sample to see everything on the FAQS User ID file:

// EXEC REXXBAT,SIZE=AUTO  
FAQSPRPW XREF             
/*                         

This will display all the Users and the Profiles defined to FAQS.

Once the Fix is applied use HELP to '?" to see all the parms available.
