  ****************************************************************
  DAI IVP requires a user ID and password to log on to the TCP
  server in order to verify that the TCP/IP client can connect to
  the TCP server and send and receive messages to and from TAS.
  However, since DAI does not support password phrases,
  if a password longer than 8 characters is specified, the IVP
  processing stops with an error and the verification test with
  IVP cannot continue.
  To avoid DAI IVP failing in an environment that uses password
  phrases, the fix for this APAR changes DAI IVP so that some of
  the verification tests in the IVP can be run by a user ID that
  uses a password phrase.
