-eA command: set key flags in accordance with RACF key usage

Our keys for OpenPGP are stored as X.509 certificates in RACF. Here key usage may be specified, for instance "Key Usage: DOCSIGN" or "Key Usage: DATAENCRYPT". When using Encryption Facility for exporting these (with the -eA command), Encryption Facility always sets the Key Flags octet (byte) to x'0F'. This means that Encryption Facility accepts that the key be used for both signing and encryption, contrary to the purpose registered in RACF. Encryption Facility should of course set the Key Flags in agreement with the RACF key usage.

    I would like to add the following comment to RFE 69725.
    I am using the -eA command to generate and export an OpenPGP public key from a self-signed certificate in RACF, without storing a certificate in the OpenPGP keyring. The listing of the RACF certificate does not show the hash algorithm, but the signing algorithm is shown as sha256RSA. I would have expected Encryption Facility to support all the hash algorithms used by RACF, for compatibility, but it has issued the CSD1331I message instead.
    Thanks
