NEW PASSWORD IS INVALID

Reason:

An attempt was made to create an invalid password. All passwords must conform to these rules:

• One to eight characters (If password phrase support is enabled, then passwords of up to 200 characters are valid.)
• No left or right parentheses
• Cannot use NOLOG or BY as passwords (If password phrase support is enabled, then there are no character set restrictions on password content.)

If you are using the Password Encryption facility, there are two additional restrictions:

• A logon password cannot encrypt to NOLOG, NOPASS, AUTOONLY, or LBYONLY.
• A link password cannot encrypt to ALL.

The command terminates with an error.

Action:

Enter a valid password.
