  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • For encryption of VSAM files with zDMF, there are some CI sizes
    that cannot be processed if CIs can cross a cylinder boundary.
    These are excluded, and an error message GZD4104E is issued.
    
    However, this restriction does not apply to logical copy
    processing, and such datasets should be processed without any
    error message.

    migration and will bypass the test for this condition.
