Just in case it could help anyone else, I also discovered that I could have used this callable service to encipher the response:
Encode (CSNBECO and CSNEECO) Use the encode callable service to encipher an 8-byte string using a clear key. The callable service uses the electronic code book (ECB) mode of the DES. (This service is available only on a DES-capable system.) This service only allows eight bytes of clear text to be enciphered using an eight byte clear key, but that was just what I wanted to do.
