DFSMShsm is unable to supply the update password for ALTER requests directed at entries in ICF user catalogs. On systems without MVS/DFP 3.1.0 or a subsequent release installed, the system operator is prompted for the password when DFSMShsm needs to update an entry. If the operator supplies an incorrect password, the current DFSMShsm operation fails.

On systems with MVS/DFP 3.1.0 or a subsequent release installed, the update operation occurs without operator intervention.
