Heh - that's a different issue. You can't change a password to a phrase, or vice versa, and RACROUTE has a new and specific error code for that. Of course the application program like TSO could effectively do this using multiple RACROUTEs, but it doesn't. BTW the other two security systems may well behave differently, and iirc there was a problem with one of them silently ignoring this change attempt. In the long term, of course, RACF will surely change to allow phrases to be as short as anyone likes, subject only to installation control, and passwords to be optional, and then we'll have by a very long and roundabout route what everyone wanted in the first place: z/OS support for long passwords.
