Use the PCF conversion program to convert a CKDS from the Programmed Cryptographic Facility (PCF) format to the ICSF format. The conversion program converts each record in the PCF CKDS to the CKDS format that ICSF uses, and then writes the new record to an ICSF CKDS. The conversion program extends the label field to 64 bytes.

An ICSF CKDS record contains an installation data field that you can use to further identify the record. This field can contain any information about a record that your installation would like to use. You can use the conversion program exit to change the information in this field. You can also use the conversion program exit to have the conversion program not place a converted CKDS entry in the ICSF CKDS.
