  ****************************************************************
  If an executing program in a job step other than the first
  step in a job does not use above the bar real storage, above
  the bar real storage that is used by system resources is not
  reported in message IEF032I and SMF30HVR.  In this regard,
  message IEF032I will incorrectly report ATB- REAL: 0K and the
  SMF30HVR field of the SMF30 subtype 4 record will contain a
  zero value.

Problem conclusion

• Job step initialization processing is changed to account for
  above the bar storage used by system resources.
