Programmer response
Contact your system programmer. When the problem has been corrected, rerun the key generator utility program as follows. If the SETM or CHGM function was requested and the host master key was not set (message ICT010I was not issued), rerun the entire job. Otherwise, use this listing to determine which control statements were processed successfully. Then rerun the utility program using the CHGK function to process the remaining control statements.
To ensure that you have all the messages issued for this problem, specify MSGLEVEL=(1,1) for the job.
