Well, labels are unique within ICSF realm or more precisely - CKDS.
However it is possible to share dataset between systems, non-sysplexed to simplify the considerations. And it is possible (by mistake) to have same labels but different key values. Or just replace the key by mistake.

KVV - I meant Key Verification Value.

Labels for dataset encryption keys (DATA or CIPHER) are unique. You cannot have the same 
label with different types where one of the types is DATA or CIPHER. What "KVV" 
are you referring to?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Encrypted datasets - question about key (pervasive 
encryption)

Encrypted dataset can be easily recognized using ISPF/PDF 3.4 - I line commands.
However "Encrypted - YES" does not contain some important details.
Next step could be IDCAMS LISTCAT ENT(dataset) - it shows key label.
However in some cases it is possible to have two different keys with same 
label. I guess that's why KVV is recorded in VVDS.
Now the question: how to get information about the KVV without digging in VVDS 
structures?
