The value consists of two parts, a date in YYYYMMDD format and an action. Possible combinations are: both blank (no search), both entered (search on date and action), date entered with blank action (search on date and any action).
Possible values for action: blank, AE(exported to IBM i), CI(checked in), CM(compiled), CO(checked out), CR(created), DI(Deliver To), IM(imported), MD(modified), WE(exported to workstation), MC (modified by checkin), MI (modified by import).

Note : System Variables are system-wide objects while all the other objects dealt with by Impact Analysis are partition-wide. Consequently care should be taken when changes to System Variables are being considered since they may be used in other partitions and that use will not be reported by Impact Analysis within the current partition.
