  ****************************************************************
  This APAR enables stand alone HDPC in the ULU and the DLI region
  to use database definitions (DBD) from IMS directory data sets
  instead of DBD libraries when IMS managed ACBs is enabled.
  And this APAR removes the restriction that when IMS managed ACBs
  is enabled and EXEC PGM=FABPPC00 is specified in a stand alone
  HDPC in the DBB region, the IMSACB DD statement must be
  specified.
  After applying this APAR and when IMS managed ACBs is enabled
  and you run stand alone HDPC jobs, the SGLXLOAD library of IBM
  IMS Tools Base for z/OS, V1R6 needs to be specified to the
  STEPLIB DD statements. For information on changes in the user's
  guide, see the following documentation changes.
  
  When IMS managed ACBs is enabled and you use Integrated DB
  Sensor function in stand alone HDPC jobs, the PTF for APAR
  PH14031 must be applied to IMS Database Reorganization Expert
  V4R1.
  When IMS managed ACBs is enabled and you use the DBD decoding
  function (DECODEDBD=YES) in stand alone HDPC jobs, the PTF for
  APAR PI87558 must be applied to IMS Library Integrity Utilities
  V2R2.
