    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    After installing PTFs for OA61207/OA61208, users can exploit the
    XFACILIT class resource, CSF.KDS.KEY.ARCHIVE.DATA.DECRYPT for
    encrypted VSAM RLS data sets. This facility class indicates that
    data sets with archived encryption keys are only to be used for
    decryption operations.  If defined, an open for output of an
    encrypted VSAM data set with an archived key will fail. This
    will result in an IEC161I 067 error message.
    
    This also applies to any application or utility that opens for
    output such as IDCAMS REPRO, BLDINDEX and VERIFY.
    

Problem conclusion

  • VSAM RLS support for decrypt-only archived encryption keys has
    been added.
