I don't understand your comments. I just now looked in the info center ar both vr5r3 and v5r2 for qsysgetph and the parameters are exactly the same.
Not exactly. Look at the description of the "Password" parameter. 

V5R2:

Password
    INPUT; CHAR(*)
The password for the user ID. On security level 10 systems, the password is not required. 

    You can specify the following special values:
. . .

V5R3:

Password
    INPUT; CHAR(*)

    The password for the user ID or a special value.

    Password for the user ID
* Length of password and CCSID of password are required 

    Special value
* Length of password and CCSID of password are not allowed when specifying a special value. * A special value must be a 10 character, blank padded value in CCSID 37. 
        * Special values allowed are:
. . .
Moreover, prior to V5R1 (and all of our development is done at V4), the second optional parameter group didn't exist at all.
