Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of zSecure Collect processing active   *
  *                 ICSF Cryptographic Key Data Set information. *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zSecure Collect writes incomplete       *
  *                      ICSF Symmetric keys information so that *
  *                      zSecure Audit might display DES key     *
  *                      length as 56 for double- and            *
  *                      triple- length keys.                    *

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  When double- and triple-length DES keys are defined, zSecure
  Collect might write incomplete information about such keys into
  CKFREEZE data sets so that zSecure Audit displays key length for
  these keys as 56.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Collect has been modified so that it processes double-
  and triple-length DES keys information correctly so that zSecure
  Audit displays the right length for such keys.
