> I would think the only way to prove is do a IVSK on the referenced storage Your thought is wrong, but showing exactly what you tried and exactly what results you got (not by paraphrasing and describing, but by copy and paste) would, as we almost always seem to need to tell you, help.
>Storage key is a different matter only way is ISVK or if you are not >authorized VSMLOC Incorrect. SVC Dump and SYSMDump records include the key of the storage so that that information can be reported upon. And abend dumps would not include in a dump any storage to which you did not have read access (i.e., fetch protected in some key other than yours). There are not very many choices of what you did wrong. The most likely is that you were not addressing the storage that you thought you were addressing. Then there's the possibility that you were not using the instruction you thought you were using. Then there's the possibility that the register(s) you were looking at were not the right registers. Etc. If true that it's not an instruction that stores, page-protection cannot be the reason. The time of error PSW and time of error failing instruction and time of error registers, coupled with displaying the storage in question from the dump (or finding it not there) is almost always enough to tell what went wrong.
