You can configure IMS netport jobs with a user ID and a long passphrase up to 60 characters in length. Previously, PowerExchange restricted the password to 8 bytes or less.
Passphrases cannot contain apostrophes.
You must modify the JCL templates to ensure that the PASSWORD=%PWD specification starts at column four and is on a JCL line by itself within the JOB statement. The JOB statement is typically on line three of the template JCL.
This rule applies to the JCL templates in the RUNLIB data set, including DB2LDJCL, DB2LDJCP, IDMSMJCL, and IDMSMJCX.
