zSecure - Do Not Truncate Audit Trail Information

When checking the Audit Trail from a User the details for all group connects and removals are quite large. When displaying the Audit Trail with a 'LU <user>' the Audit Trail is complete and simple to read. As we removed users to perform 'LU' we only want them to use zSecure hence users must query as well the Audit Trail via zSecure. Checking the Audit Trail in Panel C2RP3UD1 the 'Entry value (char)' it is truncated (to 255bytes) and does not show all available information.

    As an alternative, we may also provide a nicer display of the Command Audit Trail

    I acknowledge that there is an option to run a custom carla to get the un-truncated data:

    n type=racf

    s s=base c=user KEY=userid

    /* s s=base c=user KEY=(userid,userid) */ /* if multiple users to be used */

    sortlist key / userdata / cngauth / cngevents / cmdspend / cmdsact,

    / cmdsinact / cmdsexec / cngother


    However for a regular user just using the carla panels to get data, it's not convenient to run custom carla queries therefore the solution to show not truncated data within the panels is required.
