  APAR PI32270 provides 2 new Encryption UDFs
  1.DECENUI0 - requires a new parameter, a user specified Initial
    Chaining Vector (ICV) that will be passed to the ICSF CSNBSYE
    and CSNBSYD service calls. This will be used in place of the
    default used by IBM.
  2.DECENUP0 - uses the ICSF padding rule to provide improved
    index performance with the ICSF CSNBSYE and CSNBSYD service
    calls. This exit also has the user specifiable ICV as
    documented above. DECENUP0 requires the user to increase
    the length of the column to be encrypted to a multiple of 16
    with data type VARCHAR during encryption and decryption.
