Description
PWDWARN displays how many days remain in advance of an impending password expiration to issue the warning message:
*** M204.2634: YOUR PASSWORD WILL EXPIRE IN n DAYS
The PWDWARN value can be from 0 to 255 or -1, which indicates that CCASTAT has not yet been converted for the Password Expiration feature.
The PWDWARN value is excluded from the VIEW ALL command output, but the system manager can view it individually. If you have not installed the Password Expiration feature and you issue a VIEW command for the PWDWARN parameter, PWDWARN=-1 is returned.
Model 204 obtains the value of the PWDWARN parameter from the CCASTAT file. Therefore, each time CCASTAT is read from disk, Model 204 updates the current in-memory values to reflect any changes that were made in the CCASTAT file.
