  22.5 Specifying a CDD History List Entry
  When your BASIC program accesses CDD/Repository, you
  have the option of entering a history list entry in the database.
  The history list entry provides a history of users that access
  CDD/Repository.

  You create a history list entry by specifying the DCL com-
  mand qualifier /AUDIT. For example:
  $ BASIC/DEPENDENCY_DATA/AUDIT="History text goes here" EX1.BAS

  Note that instead of typing the text directly on the command
  line, you can also specify a file specification that contains the
  history entry.

  When you specify /AUDIT, a history list entry is created
  for each compiled module entity that the compilation cre-
  ates. In addition, the compilation will add a history list entry
  to each data definition that your program extracts with the
  %INCLUDE %FROM %CDD directive.

  You can display history list information using the CDO utility.
  For example:
  CDO> SHOW GENERIC CDD$COMPILED_MODULE EXAMPLE1 /AUDIT
  Definition of EXAMPLE1 (Type : CDD$COMPILED_MODULE)
  | History entered by SMITH ([SMITH])
  | using BASIC Vn.n
  | to CREATE definition on 25-APR-1989 13:04:01.48
