Increasing password minimum length

Hi,

I'm trying to increase the minimum length of our passwords on our IBM I from 8 to 10 characters. The password level QPWDLVL is set to 2 currently which means passwords can be from 1-128 characters. The value for QPWDMAXLEN is 128. When I look at QPWDRULES, it shows *MINLEN8 and *REQANY3.

When I try to change the QPWDMINLEN value to 10 with the following command CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QPWDMINLEN) VALUE(10), I get an error that says "Specified value not allowed for system value QPWDMINLEN." Pressing F1 on the message doesn't provide anything helpful. Basically it says specify a valid value. I checked in SST to see if the security values were locked and they are not. What am I missing?
