Each audit that compares attributes does so by calling a Compare Attributes command and places the results in an output file. Each row in an output file for a Compare Attributes command can contain either a summary record format or a detailed record format. Each summary row identifies a compared object and includes a prioritized object-level summary of whether differences were detected. Each detail row identifies a specific attribute compared for an object and the comparison results.
Note: The Compare Attribute commands are: Compare File Attributes (CMPFILA), Compare Object Attributes (CMPOBJA), Compare IFS Attributes (CMPIFSA), and Compare DLO Attri­butes (CMPDLOA).

For example, an authorization list can contain a variable number of entries. When comparing authorization lists, the CMPOBJA command will first determine if both lists have the same number of entries. If the same number of entries exist, it will then determine whether both lists contain the same entries. If differences in the number of entries are found or if the entries within the authorization list are not equal, the report will indicate that differences are detected. The report will not provide the list of entries—it will only indicate that they are not equal in terms of count or content.

You can see the full set of fields in the output file by viewing it from the native user interface.
