* A card setting exists. Using the adapter command will override any value set in 
the corresponding card setting. For examples, refer to Command Line Examples. 
Audit (-A or -AUDIT) 
Use the Audit adapter command (-AUDIT) to create a file that records the adapter 
activity for each specified input and output card. This adapter command can be 
specified for individual input and output cards on a card-by-card basis, or, 
optionally, as a global audit that encompasses all database activity for the entire 
map. This command can be used for a source or target, or in a 
DBLOOKUP, 
DBQUERY, GET, or PUT function. The default usage is to produce a file named 
audit.dbl in the directory in which the map is located. Optionally, you can append 
the audit information to an existing file or specify a name or the full pathname for 
the file. For more information, refer to the Database Interface Designer Reference 
Guide. 
-AUDIT[G][+] [
full_pathname
] 
Value Description 
G 
Activate a global audit for the entire map by specifying this 
command for the first database card that will have database 
activity. This records all database activity for all sources, 
targets, and functions for all defined cards. 
+ 
Append audit information to an existing file. 
full_path 
Specify the name of the audit file that can include the
