Record/audit all user profile parameters/fields

We log all user profile changes into a database table. This works very well using the user profile exit points (QIBM_QSY_CHG_PROFILE etc). For some time we have decided to store additional information (eg. company number) in the user profile object using API's like QsyUpdateUserApplicationInfo.

We would like to be able to have a before/after image of the extra information that is stored in the *USRPRF. After a change the 'before' exit point program becomes active but there is no way to retrieve the 'before' - QsyUpdateUserApplicationInfo information


Use Case:

When the company number is changed we want to capture the before and after value of this field (or any other data item that is stored using QsyUpdateUserApplicationInfo or similar API's

    IBM has no plans to log all before and after values, in the audit journal, for user profile changes or the user application info.
