Hi Dave, This is most likely a masked password. If you know the password, simply reset the password for the ID to the same value. This will DES-encrypt it.
Alternatively, make the ID PROTECTED, remove the password from the JOB card, and permit the Started Task SURROGAT access to ID to submit it without a password. Regards, Bob Robert S.

I believed hat all our passwords were at least DES. Recenly upgraded sandbox z/OS 2.1 to z/OS 2.3. Now getting: IRR013I VERIFICATION FAILED. INVALID PASSWORD GIVEN. For an job submitted via an STC with userid and password on the JOB card. Works fine in z/OS 2.1 Is there some way I can confirm that z/OS 2.3 is failing this because the password is sill a "masking" password?
