ICU1033   CRYPTOGRAPHY CIPHER FUNCTION FAILED - CODE xx

Explanation

An error occurred during the processing of a CIPHER macro instruction issued by the key generator utility program. In the message text, xx is the error return code from the macro. The values of xx and their explanations are as follows:
Code
Explanation
4
The Cryptographic Unit Support has not been initialized. The data could not be enciphered or deciphered.
8
An incorrect operation was requested; the macro was not CIPHER.
12
An ESTAE recovery environment could not be established or an unrecoverable I/O error occurred.
16
The length of the data to be enciphered or deciphered was specified as zero or as a negative number, or exceeded the maximum specified in the installation options module.
20
The BRANCH=YES parameter was specified, but the program issuing the macro is not running in supervisor state.
32
The address of the clear data or the enciphered data was specified as zero.
40
A retry of the CIPHER request was required but could not be performed because the input area and output area overlapped.

System action

Key generator utility processing ends.

Programmer response

Contact your programming support personnel. 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 ICU010I 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.
