Does V5R1 have this message?  I don't have any machines with that old of
an OS:

CPF4AB7
Message . . . . :   Service tools user ID password cannot be changed.
Cause . . . . . :   Your system is configured to prevent a service tools
user
  ID with a default and expired password from changing its own password.

Recovery  . . . :   Either change the password of the service tools user
ID
  through DST or use the Start Service Tools (STRSST) command, select the

  option to work with system security, and enable service tools user ID
with a
  default and expired password to change its own password. Try the request

  again.

On V5R1, anyway, if you use CHGDSTPWD and then go into DST (or SST), you
need to change the password, and you cannot repeat a certain number (?) of
them.

But once _in_ DST, you can change the password for any DST user to
anything, even repeated ones.

This is similar to the situation with CHGUSRPRF vs. CHGPWD - the former
does not enforce the password rules, the latter does.

But V5R2 may have changed some of this.
