As I suggested in a prior posting, I would investigate these auditors.
If your postings reflect their knowledge and approach I would not have
any confidence in their findings.  As Peter Relson said D PROG,APF is
more trustworthy than ISRDDN.  However, they also should be interested
in all PARMLIB members that can cause a library to be APF authorized
as well as means of updating APF libraries.  A competent auditor can
help improve your system.  An incompetent one can waste your and
management's time and money and may even leave your system more
vulnerable.
