    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the PTF provided.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    When no encryption information is available in DFSMShsm
    BCDS records, zSecure Audit may display an unprintable key
    label with a non-zero number of encrypted backup data set
    versions (COUNT_DATASET_BACKUP).
    

Problem conclusion

  • zSecure Audit has been modified, so that it correctly handles
    DFSMShsm BCDS records with no encryption information available.
    As a result, unprintable symmetric key labels are not displayed.
