Dreaming, I'm afraid, Ed.

If "storage protect override" exists on the machine, the PKM will start as
tcbkey+key9 and will be maintained that way.
If id does not exist, it would start as just tcbkey and stay that way.

I searched the archives to see if this had been discussed previously. Amazingly, I found this Jan 2002 post from Chris Craddock http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0201&L=ibm-main&P=R109234&I=1 in which he wrote:

"BTW: little known fact, if you have an abend in a key 8 task and your
ESTAE recovers, you will find you have been gifted with a key 9 bit in
your PKM by RTM. Don't see any particular use for that, but I bet CICS
finds it handy."

I guess Chris and I both had the same dream. Weird!
