  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Log record type x'9904' is              *
  *                      reconstructed from its physical         *
  *                      records.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  Log record type x'9904' is often split across multiple physical
  records in the IMS log. Therefore reporting, including extract
  to CSV, cannot guarantee that all required fields in the record
  are available to be included in the report or CSV.
  Now, batch processing first performs a logical reconstruction
  of the x'9904' IMS log record from its multiple physical
  physical records in the log.
  The result is that reporting, including extract to CSV, can
  now guarantee that all required fields are eligible for the
  report or CSV.
  

Problem conclusion

• Batch processing of IMS log record type x'9904' has changed
  to perform a econstruction of the entire logical record from
  its multiple physical records.
