You should use the V5R3 Information Center to determine how to change your
API calls.

The Char(*) in this case is indicating that the length of the parameter is
no longer fixed at 10 bytes.  Per the API documentation if you're using a
special value for the Password parameter then it's treated as a Char(10)
and you do not use the Length of password and CCSID of password parameters.
If you're using a password for the Password parameter then you must provide
the Length of password (from 1 to 512) and CCSID of password parameters.

We upgraded to V5R3M0 over the weekend and are dealing with a little bit of
fallout  ;-)

The memo to users said that the QSYGETPH API had changed, and indeed it
did,
the most important change was that now "Length of password and CCSID of
password are required " where it was only the password before.  The current
API is documented as":

1             User ID           Input             Char(10)
2             Password          Input             Char(*)
3             Profile handle          Output            Char(12)

where before it was:

1             User ID           Input             Char(10)
2             Password          Input             Char(10)
3             Profile handle          Output            Char(12)

I don't see however any documentation on what the char(*) looks like.

I need to change the CL that accesses this API to reflect the change.
Where
do I find out more on how to change it?
