Situation

Database Load deletes objects from the Work with Object Auditing screen.

Resolution

If the objects do exist on the system, then take a look at the dataarea PSALOAD in PSAUDIT:
DSPDTAARA PSAUDIT/PSALOAD

Starting at position 301, if there are any libraries listed here, and there is an E in position 300, then those libraries will need to be cleared out.  This does not affect the libraries listed in the Set Libraries List for Object Load screen, as they are stored in a separate file.

To delete them, please use the following command as an example of how to remove the libraries in positions 301 to 600:
CHGDTAARA DTAARA(PSAUDIT/PSALOAD (301 600)) VALUE(' ')

Cause

Storing the libraries in the dataarea PSALOAD was changed somewhere around the release of i5OS version 5.1, as the OS accommodated many more libraries to be included in the library list.  So these are either a leftover from prior to V5R1, or were added manually.  The other setting that is required to cause this, is setting the Set Libraries List for Object Load to E for Exclude..
