When a user is expired by specifying USREXPDATE then QSECEXP1 should log it in the history log

I have put an expiration date on a user profile (USREXPDATE) and it was disabled as expected by the job QSECEXP1. But it is only logged in the joblog of QSECEXP1 not in the History log ( nor in the *SYSOPR message queue). This makes it difficult to see what have caused the expiration. Also we would have documentation that the user is disabled in proper time when we are audited.


Use Case:

Example of how it could be logged in the history log:

Job 349985/QSECOFR/QSECEXP1 started on 01.06.16 .......
User ABCDEF disabled by job QSECEXP1
User GHIJKLM disabled by job QSECEXP1
Job 349985/QSECOFR/QSECEXP1 ended on 01.06.16 .......

    The QAUDJRN auditing journal will contain the record (audit entry) that indicates that user profile has been disabled. The audit record will be of type CP (Change Profile). The system uses the audit journal to track these type of user profile changes rather than doing anything with QHST/QSYSOPR.
