What can I do with this system value?

You can specify whether the system writes a record to the audit journal each time an object being audited is accessed by a user.

Actions against objects that have an object audit value other than none (*NONE) are audited. To set an object's audit value in the character-based interface, use the Change Audit (CHGAUD) command or the Change Object Audit (CHGOBJAUD) command.
