The Retrieve System Values ​​(QWCRSVAL) API lets you retrieve system values.

This is for example use only — We do not recommend use of this program to bypass enterprise security policies.

In this example system values that are associated with passwords are used to determine the password change policies of your enterprise. The program then changes passwords the required amount of times, prints a report of changed passwords, including the *NEW current password.
