The Application Programmer’s Guide lists a couple of restrictions in the sections that are labelled "CCF Systems Only", if you search using "CSNBENC".
For example, from "System Encryption Algorithm Marks (CCF systems only)": "It is possible to generate an operational DES-marked DATA key on a CDMF- only system or a CDMF-marked DATA key on a DES-only system. However, the encipher (CSNBENC) and decipher (CSNBDEC) callable services fail when you use these keys on the systems where they were generated unless overridden by keyword". Also, under the callable service description, section "Usage Notes", it states "On a CCF system, only a DATA key token or DATA key label can be used in this service". I would take a closer look at that manual's descriptions of these two services. And I would probably search IBMLINK for any hits on "CSNBENC" since APARs sometimes contain useful discussions of a component's limits. regards, Joe D'Alessandro ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
