  ****************************************************************
  IMS Recovery Export ISPF interface menu panel 0.2.1 'Parameters
  for IMS Subsystem' (BSY$PN2A) has the following issues:
  1) If IMS control region proc EXEC statement has
    PARM='value1,value2,,' and a value contains a symbolic
    parameter, the menu panel 0.2.1 gets error messages
    BSYI410E and BSYI117E. ( MSGBSYI410E MSGBSYI117E )
    If IMS control region PROC is listed below, XX&RGSUF contains
    symbolic parameter &RGSUF and the problem occurs.
    //   PROC  RGSUF=Y,
    //   EXEC PGM=DFSMVRC0  ,PARM='CTL,XX&RGSUF,,',
    If the value is just a symbol parameter listed below,
    the problem does not occur.
    //   PROC  RGSUF=XXY,
    //   EXEC PGM=DFSMVRC0  ,PARM='CTL,&RGSUF,,',
  
  2) 'IMS PROCLIB DSN' field is not for IMS PROCLIB data set
    but for the PROC library data set where the IMS startup proc
    is located. This field name is confusing.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1) Code has been changed to correct the problem.
  2) 'IMS PROCLIB DSN' field has been renamed as
    'IMS PROC/JOB DSN', and some message texts related to this
    field have been changed. 'IMS PROCLIB DSN' was required field,
    but 'IMS PROC/JOB DSN' has been changed as optional field.
    If it is not specified, JES PROCLIB is searched for the STC
    PROC/JOB member.
  
  The following messages have been changed:
   MSGBSY0113E
   MSGBSY0115E
   MSGBSY0117E
  
  The following message has been added:
   MSGBSYI220E
