Reset a password i.e. force a new or old password
An authorized user can enforce a password without any limitations given by the ICHPWX01 password Exit or the password history. A user can enter under TSO or in TSO/BATCH the following command to respecify an “old” PASSWORD:
RA4$RESP (userid) FORCEPASSWORD(password) + optionally RESETHISTORY
Optionally a user can enforce that a new password will be requested each time a user-id is used by setting the INTERVAL value to ‘0’. A value of ‘255’ is equal to NOINTERVAL = never expires. Valid values are from ‘0’ to ‘255’. A user can enter under TSO or in TSO/BATCH the following command:
RA4$RESP (userid) INTERVAL(0)
