    ****************************************************************
    - The HIBLOCK of the first partition was used for the one for
      the new partition. The value for partition to be processed
      should be used.
    - When splitting a partition and the relative block number in
      DBD is larger than that in RECON, the HIBLOCK in DBD was
      used for the new partition.
    

Problem conclusion

  • - Code has been changed to use the HIBLOCK of the partition to
      be processed.
    - Code has been changed to always use the HIBLOCK in RECON for
      the new partition.
