The opposite. All PSW keys match key 9.

CICS will place USER storage in key 9 storage (and invoke USER transactions
with PSW key 9) if transaction protection is requested.

What do you want to do? 

Update key 9 storage from some other key? You have that.

Allocate Key 9? Ditto.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.
