Error description

  • When running a key rotation on non-VSAM datasets,the group may
    be suspended if one or more datasets are empty. Message

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users attempting key rotation that have      *
    *                 empty non-VSAM files.                        *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Group suspends, message GZD4205I, and   *
    *                      abend S213-91 may be seen during a key  *
    *                      rotation.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply provided PTF when available.           *
    ****************************************************************
    The keylabel from the source dataset is used to open the target
    dataset to obtain information for decryption of source data.
    S213-91 indicates that the Keylabel used to open the target
    dataset during a Rotate is not the same as the keylabel from
    the source dataset.
    

Problem conclusion

  • New fields were added to the encryption control block on DASD
    that were not being copied from the source dataset to the target
    dataset before opening; thus causing the S213-91.
