Issue/Introduction

NEW PSWD VALIDATE= (UNKNOWN)

What does this mean?

 

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

ACF2 detects and displays when an external/foreign exit has been dynamically hooked into the ACCVT by displaying the phrase '(UNKNOWN)'
next to the foreign exit name, if there is one, in the command output display."

This means that you do not have a new password exit defined in the GSO EXITS record,
but an exit has been dynamically added to the system and its address has been planted
in the ACCVT in the new password exit address pointer.
