  Expanded token support for compound in-band multi-factor
  authentication.
  MFA compound in-band allows users to authenticate to z/OS
  applications with both a token code and password or
  password phrase by concatenating the two values together
  into the password phrase field of an application.
  MFA compound in-band processing will be updated to support
  authentication with USB token devices that automatically
  enter the token code and issue a carriage return character.
  This new support allows the user to specify the password or
  password phrase followed by the token code.
