    statement for IMS DBDGEN introduced by IMS APAR PH53580 by the
    following changes:
     - The DBD/PSB/ACB Reversal, the Catalog Manager, LIU under the
       IMS Administration Tool, and DBD and PSB map feature which is
       provided to the IMS Administration Foundation to decode the
       PUREDBCS parameter.
     - The DBD/PSB/ACB Compare and the Catalog Manager to compare
       the PUREDBCS parameter.
    
    This APAR also provides a fix to correct the missing digits
    in bytes parameter of the field element for FIELD
