Allow embedded debug information to be encrypted after program has been created

Provide the ability to add a debug encryption key after a program has been created.


Use Case:

A ISV needs to send a customer debuggable code, but doesn't want the customer to have access to the embedded debug information.

Currently, they would have to recompile the program and specify a debug encryption key to protect the debug information.

If a debug encryption key could be specified on the CHGPGM command, an existing program can be sent to the customer, protecting the debug information, without having to be recompiled.

    This is hard to be implemented and is low priority. IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.
