I just checked our test systems and change password is working in all test cases. Can you look at the joblog and post back any additional relevant information?

[jmalugin]

Will do.

Richard, it looks like it only occurs if the password has expired. Below is a message fro the job log.
Length of varying length variable is out of range.

I believe the next Valence 4.2 maintenance release, which is due out this week, will resolve this issue.

In the meantime, you can workaround the issue by issuing the following command in STRSQL:
UPDATE VVUSERS SET VVLSMETHOD='IBMI' WHERE VVLSMETHOD=' '
