RE: iSeries passwords

["John Earl" <john.earl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With respect to the upper/lowercase issue, really the only
way to handle that is to use QPWDLVL 2 or 3 (and 3 is not
recommended if you use MS Windows)  :(

If you're using QPWDLVL 1, then all password characters will
be converted to upper case, regardless of what you do in the
QPWDVLDPGM exit program.
