As a concept, I would copy the first record to a new dataset (using sort) and expand the record by one character - a blank. In a second OUTFIL statement I would expand all of the other records by the same 1 character - a blank. Then I would JOIN the two expanded datasets using the added

If I understand correctly what you are asking, that key comes from your program, which is why it is not an ultimately secure way of doing things. Although if you are holding the protected key in storage for a communication session it does reduce the exposure, of course. There's a little

Yep. By using ICSF plus CEX, and using protected key.. you get more of the performance characteristics of CPACF but retain the more secure nature of secure key. Yes the exposure is less.. but it will always be suspect. Ultimately, the protected key is dependent on the source key material being

Effectively, you need both ICSF and a CEX3 to take advantage of Protected Keys. As was pointed out in another append, you can use the PCKMO instruction to wrap a key. That is, you would take a clear key and wrap it, creating a protected key. And as was also pointed out in that post, I'm not
