VigilEnt Security Agent for iSeries 7.5

fact
VigilEnt Security Agent for PSAudit 7.5

fact
System Auditing and Reporting (SAR) 

fix
No, the usage indicator will not be affected because the Date Last Used is NOT updated by a SAVSYS or any other save operation.  A save operation could update the Save date/time, which is a different attribute of the object.

note
The attribute used to determine the value in the usage indicator is the Date Last Used.
