Problem conclusion

• This is a permanent Restriction for V2 R10.
  DFSMSdss does have error recovery to release the quiese of HFS
  or zFS data sets.  However, when a cancel or some ABENDs occur
  in services called by DFSMSdss, an HFS or zFS data set can
  remain quiesed.
  
  One reason is that if the ABEND occurs and control is not
  passed back to the DFSMSdss ABEND exit (an ESTAI exit) then
  DFSMSdss cannot release the quiesed data sets that DFSMSdss
  knows are quiesed.
  
  Another reason is if the ABEND (or cancel) occurs during the
  quiese processing of an HFS or zFS data set, then DFSMSdss
  does not know if the data set has been successfully
  quiesced or not.
