  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All users generating some entities which called segments     *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Issue on Level and Address Length for Segment.               *
  * The position of the first element following a redefines      *
  * group is based on the length of the last element of the      *
  * redefines. It should be based on the first element of the    *
  * redefines.                                                   *
