Sorry Alan, but wih RAC ALTUSER, the password you set will be an expired one, the user will have to change it when he logs on.
An assembler program is required to use RACROUTE. I have such an animal that I can send on request. You need access to both the old and the new password in order to make it work. I don't know if these are available in the DIRMAINT exit.

If you have z/VM 5.2, CONFIGRC SAMPDVH activates a new set of exits that work closely with RACF. In prior versions of DirMaint, you can use the PASSWORD_CHANGE_NOTIFICATION_EXIT to set the RACF password via RAC ALTUSER. Also look at COMMAND_BEFORE_PROCESSING exit if you want to stop the DIRM PW altogether. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
