Storage protection override is set for everyone in z/OS and has been pretty much since it was developed. CICS does not need to ask for it. >This would seem to obviate any need for CICS, post-initialization >when running unauthorized, to issue SPKA or similar >key-related instructions simply to access key9 storage." True, but if the transaction is key 9 there must still be a switch from transaction key to CICS key to write into CICS storage.
