IDC3336I   ** text RETURN CODE IS return-code

Explanation

text is one of the following:

  • CIPHER
  • EMK
  • GENKEY
  • RETKEY

The indicated Programmed Cryptographic Facility (PCF) service returned a nonzero return code. PCF and cryptographic unit support program (CUSP) macros will receive identical error return codes if they run on integrated cryptographic service facility (ICSF)/MVS or on PCF/CUSP, with one exception. If a key is installed in the cryptographic key data set (CKDS) with the correct label but an incorrect key type, an attempt to use that key by RETKEY or GENKEY will result in a return code of 8 from PCF/CUSP, indicating that the key was not of the correct type. ICSF will issue a return code of 12, indicating the key could not be found. Installations must ensure that PCF/CUSP LOCAL or CROSS 1 keys are installed on the ICSF CKDS as EXPORTER keys, and that REMOTE and CROSS 2 keys are installed as IMPORTER keys.

System programmer response

If the error recurs and the program is not in error, look at the messages in the job log for more information. Search problem reporting data bases for a fix for the problem. If no fix exists, contact the IBM® Support Center. Provide the JCL and the SYSOUT output for the job.
