zSecure Audit - Enhance Audit Trail data insert

When a RACF command fails to update a User,  Group or any other profile in RACF an entry for this attempted and failed command is logged as expected in the Audit Trail.

This sample represents the removal of the password interval from a user that failed:

C4R739I Attrib: INTERV Removed on 22.252/07:53 by C2PSUSER CMD-RC=04

When this situation needs to be corrected, another password nointerval command is executed. As this has the same meaning of 'removal' the Audit Trail is not updated as zSecure Audit does not verify the return code from another command that should have removed the flag. This leads to inadequate data in the Audit Trail.

Hence zSecure Audit must be updated to not only check if another 'remove' item is already present in the Audit Trail but also check on the RC from the previous command and if the currently executed one has a lower RC it must overwrite the existing entry.
