    * USERS AFFECTED: Users requesting Rotate of keylabel for      *
    *                 sequential variable record length(V)         *
    *                 files.                                       *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a ROTATE is run on non-VSAM files  *
    *                      that are encrypted with basic/large     *
    *                      dataset encryption (i.e. not extended   *
    *                      format), in some cases, the resulting   *
    *                      file is unreadable, and gets I/O        *
