    GZD4198E DYNALLOC error allocating encryption KEYLABEL test
    DSN=<tgthlq>.ZDMF.TEST.KEYLABEL KEYLABEL=<parts of volsers>
    ERR=035C REAS=8032 EREAS=00000000
    GZD4155E ACTIVATION processing terminated for GROUP ZDMFGR1 due
    to unexpected errors.

    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply PTF when available.                    *
    ****************************************************************
    Due to a programming bug, encryption fields were added to an
    internal parameter block where source volumes 11 through 16 are
    stored.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The internal control block definition has been revised to
    correctly keep all fields separate.  The documented maximum of
    16 source volumes may specified.
