According to the CICS Resource Definition guide: EXECKEY(USER|CICS)
In a CICS region with STORAGE PROTECTION active, a user key program has read and write access to USER key storage, but read only access to CICS key storage. Storage protection is the 4 bit flag that Linas referred to at the beginning of this thread; if the storage key where the insturction is executed from doesn't match the storage key of the target of the instruction, you get a protection exception raised and, generally, your program terminated.

Disclaimer: I can just barely *spell* CICS. I thought that CICS was supporting subspaces these days (and in fact, that subspaces were invented for it). Is CICS using protect keys? -- David Andrews A.
