Peter, while not so familiar with SoftAudit, I do know that Dorana allows you to perform querys that tell you not only which programs were executed via a job's EXEC statements but also any consequent LINK, LOAD or XCTL macros issued in the job's executed steps. Dorana's query reporting supports various filters and masking features, allowing you to, for example, find all load modules used by a specific job, over whatever timeframe is relevant. Both these tools are designed to also answer the financially significant question: "Which products am I actually using?" by machine / LPAR / time period.

My (admittedly speculative) point was that a manager who had that sort of power at his/her fingertipz would be unlikely to ask a technician to start from scratch with a project such as that apparently suggested in the original post, unless it was perhaps a training exercise (not wishing in any way to impugn the OP's abilities!) :-)

Where's the correlation? (Sorry, couldn't resist)
