Configuration Parameters › CONFIG Member Parameters › ENCRYPT

ENCRYPT

Specifies whether a SYSIN01 file created using the ISPF interface is encrypted.

YES

Causes a SYSIN01 file created using the ISPF interface to be encrypted in conformance with the Data Encryption Standard (DES).

NO

Causes a SYSIN01 file created using the ISPF interface not to be encrypted and to conform to the standard EBCDIC character set.

Default: NO

Notes:

• Encryption methods other than the DES are used outside the U.S.
• Because of federal regulations restricting the export of products with cryptographic capabilities, this parameter may not be available or effective in some non‑U.S. CA XCOM Data Transport products.
• If ENCRYPT=YES is specified all batch jobs must use encrypted SYSIN01 files created through the ISPF interface.
