Error:

11.28.53 JOB08399  IEC161I 069(00000008,00003E84)-162,Dataset.name,,,Key.label,,CATALOG.ICFUCAT.XXXX

 

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : ACF2 for z/OS

Resolution

The return and reason code in the message 00000008,00003E84 means
that access to the CSFKEYS resource (key label) was not allowed.

The CSFKEYS rules were incorrectly written.
WHEN(CRITERIA(SMS(DSENCRYPTION)))
was actually written as                                   
WHEN(CRITERIA(SMS(DSENCYPTION)))
The update of the dataset took place successfully after this was adjusted in the rules.

Note: any value can be placed in the criteria parameter - the syntax is not checked.
