Conditional reorg check for new KEYLABEL in RACF

We are encrypting our IMS Databases. We store the encryption KEYLABEL in RACF on the Dataset Profile. Over time, we may change the KEYLABEL, to switch to quantum safe algorithms for example, and would like the conditional reorg to detect this change and cause it to perform a reorg. So, if the KEYLABEL currently on the IMS Database Dataset is not the same as the KEYLABEL on the RACF Dataset Profile,  perform the reorg.
