Resolution

Issue a TSS CHKCERT DCDSN(datasetname) or TSS CHKCERT DCDSN(datasetname) PKCSPASS(password) if password protected.

This will tell you if the certificate is already on the security file.

If the certificate is not already on the security file, make sure the DIGICERT name or LABLCERT name is not already being used.

Run a TSS LIST(ACIDS) DIGICERT(ALL) in batch and do a find on the DIGICERT name and LABLCERT name.
