I don't know why the OP thinks he needs key 8 CSA storage. The only reason that I can think of is to update it from a non-authorized program. If it were me, I'd likely use a system key (probably 0, but maybe even 7 because I don't think anybody else uses it, so I can find it in a SYSDUMP with IPCS). IMO, if this is what is wanted (update from non authorized program), I'd do it by setting up a PC routine (PC-cp) to do it. That PC routine could then be used by any non-authorized program. I might consider putting some code in the PC to make sure that it was invoked by my program. I'm just not too sure how to do that.
