  ****************************************************************
  When the Post-Reorg utility is executed with the IC=NO control
  statement specified, it hangs after an error occurs in HPPR
  task. 
  This is because the Post-Reorg utility attempts to
  force-terminate the IC task even though it has not been
  executed.
  
  This APAR also provides a fix for the following issue:
  The Reorg Expert will issue the error message HPSG0204E and
  terminate with RC=08 if a nine-digit value is specified in
  the FILSZ control statement in the (PREFIXRES) block for the
  HPPR task.
  Additional symptom: Wait / hang due to HPPR error will be an
  SVC01 from HPSPTM00+X'144E'.
  

Problem conclusion

• The Post-Reorg utility has been modified to not force the
  termination of the IC task if an error occurs in the HPPR task
  and the IC task is not running.
  
  Reorg Expert has also been modified to allow nine-digits to be
  specified in the FILSZ control statement.
