No, CHGPWD is something to be ran interactively. If you're using external software like IBM Secure Identity Manager (ISIM) and not 5250 it has all it's own checks built in.
Apparently, when one plays within the system it works fine. But when you game the system, report it to the company help desk and they bring others into the game to beat it into submission is when you fall for this.

Basically I just want to know if CHGUSRPRF reports it runs fine.

Subject: Re: 7.3: CHGUSRPRF PASSWORD(...)

My understanding is that CHGUSRPRF doesn't go through any of the password checks..

CHGPWD is what the application should be using

Let's say you have a user. You know the password. You know it's expired.
If you do a CHGUSRPRF USER(...) PASSWORD(...same password...) Will you
get the CPC2205 - User profile &1 changed.
And still see the old "Date password last changed"?
Because we have an application which reported that it worked fine. It
uses CHGUSRPRF.
I even did a DSPJRN and could see all the entries EXCEPT the actual CP
entry. CP = Change Profile.
My hypothesis is that CHGUSRPRF checks before/after and doesn't really
do the change.
Once we changed his password to something else and then changed his
password it did update his password changed date.
Not that we're in the habit of gaming the system - I think we just got
hoodwinked by someone into keeping his old password.
I think I'm right.
CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(<redacted>) PASSWORD(<redacted>)
User profile <redacted> changed.
