Message text: At least one parameter value for GEN_PSW_MAX_* is not correct
What causes this issue?
IF &V2& = LETTERS
The value of the Customizing switch <AB>GEN_PSW_MAX_LETTERS</> is
smaller than that of the profile parameter <AB>
login/min_password_letters</>.
ELSEIF &V2& = DIGITS
The value of the Customizing switch <AB>GEN_PSW_MAX_DIGITS</> is smaller
than that of the profile parameter <AB>login/min_password_digits</>.
ELSEIF &V2& = SPECIALS
The value of the Customizing switch <AB>GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS</> is
smaller than that of the profile parameter <AB>
login/min_password_specials</>.
ELSEIF &V2& = LENGTH
The value of the Customizing switch <AB>GEN_PSW_MAX_LENGTH</> is smaller
than that of the profile parameter <AB>login/min_password_lng</>.
ELSEIF &V2& = SUM
The total of all values of the <AB>GEN_PSW_MAX_*</> Customizing switches
is smaller than the length of the password to be generated.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
General Information
The Customizing switches <LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_LETTERS</>, <LB>
GEN_PSW_MAX_DIGITS</>, <LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS</>, and <LB>
GEN_PSW_MAX_LENGTH</> are used exclusively to control the password
generator in transactions SU01 and SU10, and can be maintained in table
PRGN_CUST. Their effect is closely connected to the profile parameters
login/min_password_letters, login/min_password_digits,
login/min_password_specials, and login/min_password_lng.. The password
generator prevents passwords being created in accordance with the
specifications of the <LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_*</> Customizing switches that do
not also fulfill the system's password rules, in accordance with the
specified profile parameters.
<LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_DIGITS</> - maximum number of digits in generated
password
<LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_LETTERS</> - maximum number of letters in generated
password
<LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS</> - maximum number of special characters, such
as <AB>@$%/)=+-<(><<)>>[] </> in the generated password
<LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_LENGTH</> - maximum length of the generated password
The default value '&V1&' is used for every Customizing switch not
specified in the table PRGN_CUST.
RESET N1
This message is displayed in the following cases: The value of the
Customizing switch is smaller than the value of its corresponding
profile parameter.
Example:
<LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS</> = 0 but <LB>login/min_password_specials</> =
2.
(The value of <LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_SPECIALS</> is ignored and the default
value '&V1&' is used.)
The total of the values for all Customizing switches is smaller than the
length of the password to be generated.
(The default value '&V1&' is used for all <LB>GEN_PSW_MAX_*</>
Customizing switches)
How to fix this error?
Adjust the values of the Customizing switches, or delete them to use the
default values.
