The SUBSYS= keyword is conceivably something could be done away with, although I'd (also) consider that highly unlikely. But the underlying support is *certainly* not; it is the interface that JES2 (and presumably JES3) use to provide DD* and SYSOUT. Those have an implied SUBSYS=JES2/3 (even thou

Its not the worst diagnostic situation that I have seen on z/OS ( that award would go to the C-library OS I/O stuff IMO). In this case, the external API that failed is gsk_decode_import_key(), and if you look it up the error that you are getting is documented: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledge
