We have a requirement to retain the installation data on a VERIFYX call

A recent change at RSU1412 level has resulted in failure of passwordless calls to ICHRIX01.
An exit we use - ICHRIx01 requires that the INSTLN - Installation Data - is passed to it. Removal of the INSTLN from the VERIFYX call within CICS means that this call now fails.
A USERMOD AI39336 has been written by IBM for JPM and sucessfully tested on site by JPM.

This RFE is to reqest that going forward JPM use of passtickets and the ICHRIX01 exit is supported - comment from the PMR : 'Everything did stop working when PI21866 was applied because that
changed the password verification process in CICS to use IRRSPW00
and not to call VERIFYX at all. I don't believe IRRSPW00 supports
user exits so the password would always be invalid in this scenario.
Note that the PE fix for PI21866 only reinstates the VERIFYX call
because IRRSPW00 does not support passtickets. There is the possibility
that the VERIFYX call would be removed again once RACF address the
passticket issue. I strongly recommend that an RFE is raised so that
development are aware of this use case and consider it in any future
plans regarding password verification processing. '. So we really need to ensure that the VERIFX call is used and the the passing of the Installtion Data is honoured.
