My strong maxim is "Don't mess with the user's input." It's
pointless and irresponsible for applications (TPX in this case)
to tie developers' hands against future enhancements by converting
passwords to upper case or enforcing syntax rules given that RACF
already (optionally) does that, at the implementation layer where
it is properly done.
RACF didn't fold the password until recently.
