Re: Not logged to the system.

Do I need to write the logic in program and place them in some particular location, from there QPWDVLDPGM will pick up.
is it that way.

As we are using V5R4M0 version there is no option of QPWDRULES and
this new feature is in I.6 version.

please suggest if there any alternative thing to do this.

  Perhaps QPWDVLDPGM would be acceptable; i.e. by allowing user code to
implement the rules, for lack of those particular rules being provided
via the other password rule system values.
