****************************************************************
Propagation of a password phrase to a phrase-only user results
in message:
  IRRC016I User ID xxxxxxx is not defined to use a password.

The problem is a result of some code that made the old
assumption that a user could not have a password phrase
without also having a password.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • RACF is fixed to allow password phrase propagation to
phrase-only users.
