    The the kill command was issued via the console using CEKL then there is a DFHCQ0259I message issued.

    For EXEC CICS SET TASK() KILL, the CICS TS 5.1 open Beta contains new function which will audit SPI commands including this command. If you want to try this out you can download CICS TS 5.1 open beta for free.
