The CSNBRNGL callable service returns a value under the following conditions:

  • The server has the cryptographic coprocessor that supports CSNBRNGL and the coprocessor creates the random number with the desired length. This requires a CEX2C or CEX3C with a version of the licensed internal code (LIC) that supports the RNGL verb.
  • The server has the cryptographic coprocessor that processes CSNBRNG requests. In this case, the CSNBRNGL callable service calls the processor to create the random number with the desired length, 8 bytes at a time.

This table lists the required cryptographic hardware for each server type and describes restrictions for this callable service.
