Function requirement - To support TRANSKEY+WRAPENH3 keyword in KGUP utility

PCI-PIN spec defined the key storage need to use key block format when store key tokens. IBM announced the WRAPENH3 format to comply PCI-PIN requirement which should support different ways to store key as WRAPENH3 format, including Key Generator Utility Program (KGUP) with APAR OA64459.

We found after apply OA64459, the combination of TRANSKEY keyword with force WRAPENH3 was failed with REASON CODE = 2131. However, TRANSKEY was used to protect key file without exposed clear key value outside Crypto card, and TRANSKEY was used for years in customer environment.

We request to enhance KGUP utility to support the combination of TRANSKEY + NOCV + KEYMGT('WRAP-ENH') keywords to meet PCI-PIN requirement and keep the key entry process secured.
