Programmer response
Contact your system programmer. When the
problem has been corrected, rerun the key generator utility program
as follows. If the SETM or CHGM function was requested and the host
master key was not set (message ICT010I was not issued), rerun the
entire job. Otherwise, use this listing to determine which control
statements were processed successfully. Then rerun the utility program
using the CHGK function to process the remaining control statements.
To
ensure that you have all the messages issued for this problem, specify
MSGLEVEL=(1,1) for the job.
