Re: WHAT was IBM THINKING?!?!?, Re: QSYGETPH API

Personally I've not coded this api.  I think someone here has.  But, what 
new 'REQUIRED' parameters are you talking about?  Wait, upon further 
reading, I think I understand.  I think I understand what changed in V5R3. 
 They increased the password length available.  So, if you are not using 
one of the special values, then you are toast.  And, with your luck, the 
special values were not supported on versions prior to V5R3.

I suppose it would make it rough for some code.
Select;
When ReleaseLevel()>='V5R3M0';
  callp qsysgetphV5R3(......);
Other;
  callp qsysgetph(.....);
EndSl;

Good thing they document this stuff in the Memo to Users.

I suppose 'difficulties' are to be expected when changing something like 
password length throughout the system.
