Immediate answer: irrelevant. Larger answer: if you are the responsible party for the code that acquired the CSA storage in key 8 in which the ECB resides, you should change the key to 0 as soon as possible. If you are not the responsible party, you can use key 8 now in your XMEM POST but you need to bring the security issue to the attention of whoever is responsible for that code and/or your manager.
After the CSA key is changed to 0, then you will need to be in key 0 when you do the POST. Your POSTing code may already be in key 0, as XMEM POST is an authorized system service.
