Our system (z/OS 2.4) is running with an old RACF password exit, ICHPWX01,
assembly date 01/11/93.
Eyecatcher looks like this: ICHPWX01 E9202 01/11/93 16.25 RACF 1.9
We don't have the source code, and it's abending on our z/OS 2.4 system.
I'll probably just take it out; it's long past its usefulness.
But I was curious about its provenance and thought I'd check here if anyone
recognizes it.
Its messages have the form:
BACPA1 I it must be 6 to 8 positions in length
BACPB1 I it must contain at least one numeric character
BACPB2 I it must contain at least one alphabetic character
etc.,
The "BAC" reminds me of Boeing Aircraft Corporation and William Mosteller
(former SHARE JES2 Deputy project manager, 1980's).
There is a ICHPWX01 exit on the CBT, but doesn't match this.

I don't have this code, however it seems the rules above can be enforced
without exit.
It's something like ALPHANUM LENGTH(6:8).
Remarks:
Generally it is bad idea not to have source code for exits. IMHO it is
even bad idea not to have a person who understand the code.
It is good idea to start using passphrases. Almost all the requirement
are fulfilled then.
Otherwise it is good idea to use some available exit.
...especially REXX exit from IBM - dynamic changes, easier to understand
and modify.
