Issue/Introduction

How can all the values of the GSO PSWD PSWDPLST field be removed?

In other words how can NULL be specified for this field?

Environment

Release: 16
Component: ACF2MS

Resolution

A NULL value for the GSO PSWD PSWDPLST field can be specified via the following ACF2 commands:

ACF
SET CONTROL(GSO)
CHANGE PSWD PSWDPLST() REP 
F ACF2,REFRESH(PSWD)

The command needs to be issued with the REP option since the default is ADD. REP requests that the existing data is replaced with the provided data. For example, without REP if the PSWDPLST contained (# &) then specifying () would only 'add' null to the existing list. The REP is needed to replace the existing list.
