It's not what you don't know that hurts you, it's not what you know that
isn't so. Failure to take the key into account when it's relevant will
lead to other failures.
The code IBM provides already takes the count area into account, so you
only need to include it when you're doing thing like Read CKD. The key
length, however, affects lots of other things.

No, it's just that the common context is keylen=0.
