  ****************************************************************
  If dynamic resource definition (DRD) is enabled for the IMS
  system, resource definition data set (RDDS) must be defined by
  the RDDSDSN parameter in the DYNAMIC_RESOURCES section of the
  IMS PROCLIB DFSDFxxx member and automatic exporting to RDDS must
  be enabled.
  If RDDSDSN parameter is not defined for DRD environment, IMS
  Recovery Expert ISPF interface menu panel 1.1 (IMS System
  Analysis and Configuration) issues the following message:
   BSYI107E - Dynamic Allocation (SVC99) ALLOCATE call Failed in
              program BSY#BDIR
  This message is misleading and does not indicate RDDSDSN
  parameter is missing. This message can be accompanied by ABEND
  SA03 or S0C4 message.
  

Problem conclusion

• New message BSYI330E has been added. If RDDSDSN parameter is not
  defined for DRD environment, BSYI330E is displayed.
  
  BSYI330E Neither MODBLKS DD nor RDDSDSN parameter is specified
  Explanation:
  The IMS system has neither the MODBLKS DD statement in the start
  procedure nor the RDDSDSN parameter in the DYNAMIC_RESOURCES
  section of the IMS PROCLIB DFSDFxxx member. IMS Recovery Expert
  requires the MODBLKS DD statement or the RDDSDSN parameter to be
  specified.
  
  User response:
  Review the associated message and take the action necessary to
  complete the IMS System Analysis and Configuration.
