    We have re-reviewed this RFE and at this time have rejected this request. Our strategic 3270 is the Enhanced 3270ui what has RACF Passphrase support. We are not currenly enhancing the classic UI and this RFE will not be addressed with in the next 18 months which will be the criteria on which RFE will be accepted or rejected. Thank you.

    Bank of America also requires support for the RACF password phrase capability, introduced in z/OS 1.8, so they can use a password longer than 8 characters. Lack of this functionality is also a road block to them. They are anxious for IBM to provide this capability.
