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.
