When you invoke the AUDIT line operator or AUDIT command successfully, AUDIT SCHEDULED is displayed on the Mountable Tape Volume List. A completion message indicating success or failure of the audit is sent to the storage administrator. In the case of using the AUDIT line operator, if the volume is successfully scheduled for an audit, the volume has *AUDIT displayed in the line operator column. Audits that are not successfully scheduled have ¬AUDIT or ?AUDIT in the line operator column.

When you receive an audit completion message, you can use the REFRESH command to update the MOUNTABLE TAPE VOLUME LIST or the TAPE LIBRARY LIST with the same selection criteria. The results of the audit are shown in the VOLUME ERROR STATUS column and you also receive a message with the error results.
