  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a copybook is imported in both     *
  *                      the IMS resource change and the Import  *
  *                      objects function, Administration Tool   *
  *                      attempts to generate an incorrect DBD   *
  *                      source which contains a DATASET         *
  *                      statement prior to a FIELD statement    *
  *                      in case of a DATASET statement          *
  *                      following the SEGM statement.           *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  In both the IMS resource change and the Import objects function
  Administration Tool can generate DBD objects with schema from
  copybooks.
  When Administration Tool attempts to import a copybook to a
  DBD source which has no comment line prior to a DATASET
  statement, Administration Tool erroneously defines the DATASET
  statement between a previous SEGM statement and a new FIELD
  statement of copybook and then fails to generate the correct
  DBD source.
  This is because Administration Tool cannot find the correct
  position of the DATASET statement without a comment line.
  

Problem conclusion

• Administration Tool has been modified to define a DATASET
  statement at the correct position without a comment line.
