Resolution

The field SPECLIST is a multi-valued field. To add multiple values a delimiter needs to be specified between each value. The delimiter is a space.

Example:

ACF
SET CONTROL(GSO)
CONTROL
CHANGE PWPHRASE SPECLIST(& * : = ! - % . ? _ |) ADD/REP/DEL
END

ADD will add the values to any existing values in the field. (default)
REP will replace whatever is currently in the field.
DEL will remove these values from the existing values in the field.
