RMF SR to support blanks in passphrase

RMF SpreadSheet Reporter should support blanks in passphrases.

Currenlty, when we define a SYSTEM within RMF SR, we try to connect to the z/OS system and we use a RACF Passphrase that contains blanks, the connection from RMF SR to z/OS fails with this error shown on the RMF SR 'FTP Command Log':
-
SENT: AUTH SSL
234 Security environment established - ready for negotiation
SENT: USER MYUSER
331 Send password please.
SENT: PASS (*hidden*)
530 PASS command failed
User could not be logged in to the FTP Server. RC = 530
User could not be logged in to the FTP Server.
-

On the Z/OS syslog we also see a RACF messaging indicatign my user tried to connect with an incorrect passphrase:
-
ICH408I USER(MYUSER)
LOGON/JOB INITIATION - PASS PHRASE IS NOT VALID
-
After I changed my passphrase on z/OS with a passphrase that does not contain blanks, the problem is solved. So RMF SR currently does not support passphrases that contains blanks.

    The team was not able to reproduce this issue. The test was done on z/OS 2.5.
    Please, if you still face this problem, reopen this request with additional information.

    Thank you!
