  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  1. This is the configuration support for the "Fold password to
  upper case" global RTE option to support mixed case passwords
  introduced in RACF V1.8 for Classic interface, CUA and PE
  Client.
  
  2. The parameters LROWS (Number of logical rows) and USER
  (Session profile ID) are parameters cannot be set via
  ICAT.
  
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  1. The passwords will not be converted to upper case if the
  option 'Fold password to upper case' is set to N in ICAT.

  Note:
  This PTF is the prerequisite for mixed case password support,
  containing server build level 08.014 and workstation client
  L1531.
  Please inform your users that mixed case password support will
  only work with client level L1531 or later.
  If you are not able to upgrade all your servers immediately,
  users of the new workstation client must type in their password
  in upper case.
  
  
  2. The 2 parameters LROWS and USER are externalized in ICAT.
