Not sure if it works but at least not the same error:

Thanks Miguel, but in your code you are generating the Private and Public keys, whereas I am receiving public key from

another system in order to encrypt my data.

So, I think I'm hitting some formatting error on the public key that I am receiving as it's from a .pem file, and I 

think it needs to be converted so PB17 can process it.

Hi Phil,

There are some difference between the PublicKey you provided and that the PB used. The PB PublicKey is generated via the following function:
lnv_CrypterObject.AsymmetricGenerateKey(RSA!, 1024, lblb_privKey, lblb_pubKey)

Below is the PublicKey example it generated:

Do you know how the third party program generate the pubkey via OpenSSH?
Could you please let us know the exact function names and the parameter values?

Hi Ken,

The public key is generated on Tandem platform using SSH calls from a C program
