Thanks for the clear answer.

That fact is not at all clear in the ICSF documentation, at least not that I 
have found in the Application Programmer's Guide so far.

If such is the case, what are the options to store a clear key in the CKDS and 
invoke an encryption/decryption subroutine that takes as an argument only the 
"label" of that key and not the clear key itself?

The goal here is to have the clear key stored in the protected CKDS (only 
authorized security team personnel allowed to access) and permit ordinary 
non-authorized application code to use the key label for encryption and 
decryption of data fields.

TIA for any further info/RTFM you can provide.

Peter
