Parameter type

Keyword, optional

Purpose

Use the KEYENCD2 parameter to specify how the label for the key encrypting key specified by the key label 2 is encoded by the Encryption Key Manager and stored on the tape cartridge.

Code the KEYENCD2 parameter when you want to specify how the label for the key encrypting key specified by the key label 2 is encoded by the Encryption Key Manager and stored on the tape cartridge.

Specification of the key encoding does not by itself enable encryption. Encryption must be enabled by a data class that specifies an encryption format, for example EEFMT2.

For complete documentation on using tape encryption, see z/OS DFSMS Software Support for IBM System Storage TS1140, TS1130, and TS1120 Tape Drives (3592).
