  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  *  When the REFUCB feature is enabled the                      *
  *                      UCB will be automatically updated if    *
  *                      necessary. When device support          *
  *                      software detects that an operation has  *
  *                      changed either the volser or the VTOC   *
  *                      location, the DEVMAN REFUCB service     *
  *                      will be invoked on each system in the   *
  *                      sysplex. If the device is ONLINE,       *
  *                      REFUCB will issue a VARY ONLINE,        *
  *                      UNCONDITIONAL which will update both    *
  *                      the volser and VTOC location in the     *
  *                      UCB. If the device is OFFLINE, no       *
  *                      action is taken. There are cases where  *
  *                      the UCB cannot be refreshed as an       *
  *                      example described below:                *
  *                                                              *

  New Function:
  Provide the options on what action will be taken based on
  REFUCB_FAIL keyword set in a DEVSUPxx parmlib member:
  -  Change the device to a read-only device if it can not be
  varied offline.
  -  Leave the action as it is today (which will be the default).
  The DMO0063E message will be set to indicate the UCB was not
  updated and it will be up to the customer to manually take the
  action(s) needed to refresh the UCB.
