     CSFECO00 -------------- ICSF - Encode ------------------------------
     COMMAND ===>
    
    
     Enter data below:
    
       Clear Key       ===>  0000000000000000   Clear Key Value
       Plaintext       ===>  0000000000000000   Data to be encoded
       Ciphertext         :  0000000000000000   Output from the encode
    
     
  3. In the Clear Key field, enter the clear value of the key you want ICSF to use to encode the data.
  4. In the Plaintext field, enter the data in hexadecimal form that you want ICSF to encode.
  5. Press ENTER.

    ICSF uses the clear key and the DES algorithm to encode the data. The encoded data is displayed in the Ciphertext field.
