As others have noted, upper case only is the default. If you haven't played
with mixed case at all, then you're good to go. Once you've turned on mixed
case, however, getting back to upper only requires several steps of back
tracking. If you miss any of those steps, some people won't be able to
logon at all.
BTW remember that once you go mixed case, EVERY application that validates
userid and password must be capable of handling mixed case. In our case,
CA-TPX was not ready at 1.7 GA and may still not be ready yet. You have to
examine every product and every piece of RYO code in your environment.
Meanwhile, of course, there's nothing wrong with telling management that
z/OS now has this capability. Throw some numbers up in a ppt. Those folks
are so easily impressed. ;-)
