  ****************************************************************
  This APAR enables OSC to detect DBD changes that are not
  allowed by IMS Online Change process in initialization phase,
  rather than ending with Online Change error in takeover phase.
  
  OSC has been changed to end with error in initialization phase
  under the following conditions;
  - IAREA=ALL and OAREA=ALL are not specified when the STAGE
    attribute of the randomizer is changed
  - IAREA=ALL and OAREA=ALL are not specified when the number of
    RAPs for an area was changed but the randomizing module is an
    1-STAGE randomizer
  - The area being changed is not specified in IAREA and OAREA
    keywords
  
  Also, OSC has been changed to display '(2-STAGE)' in the
  RANDOMIZER field of DBD Definition report when the randomizing
  module is a 2-STAGE randomizer. This allows users to recognize
  a change in the STAGE attribute of the randomizer.
