There are 2 ways to update the revised hnas key (EOMKEY):

 1 – Modify the HNASXEQ PARM= statement

 To enable the revised hnas key, code the following on your HNASXEQ PARM= parameter statement (Note that your existing PARM= statement may differ from the sample below):

Existing:

//HNASXEQ  EXEC PGM=HNAS,REGION=0M,
 // PARM='APFMEMSP=(229,230),RMTCONP,USEMDFY,SVRSTRT' 

Revised:

 //HNASXEQ  EXEC PGM=HNAS,REGION=0M,
// PARM=' EOMKEY=nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn,APFMEMSP=(229,230),RMTCONP,USEMDFY,SVRSTRT' 

This makes the change permanent for the current EOMDATE period so that the revised key will be used each time HNAS is started.

2 – Console MMEM EOMKEY= command 

Use the HNAS Console command MMEM PARM= to apply the revised key to the running HNAS image.  If HNAS is restarted the old key will be used.

 MMEM EOMKEY=nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn  

HNAS Console command are enter via the Host  /F jobname,command modify interface.
