Well if we are talking the same thing either works. Password or Password Phrase.
USER=xxxxxx NAME=yyyyyyy OWNER=zzzzzzzz CREATED=09.300 DEFAULT-GROUP=SYS1 PASSDATE=13.036 PASS-INTERVAL= 90 PHRASEDATE=13.073 ATTRIBUTES=PASSPHRASE after adding passphrase to the ID and changing SYS1.PARMLIB(IKJTSO00) to add: LOGON /* LOGON PARMS */ + PASSPHRASE(ON) /* TURN ON LOG PASSWORDS */ We can no log-on with either the original 8 digit max password or the new passphrase of up to 100 characters. I have not tested up to 100, but the field seems to hold it wrapping to the next line. I tested a 21 character password.
