    ****************************************************************
    ABEND0C4 can occur when running HD Pointer Checker (HDPC) for
    the compressed image copies of HD database VSAM data sets that
    were created by IMS HP Image Copy (HPIC).
    Since the compressed image copies have no VSAM control
    information such as RDF and CIDF in  IC records, HDPC
    incorrectly tries to refer it and gets the ABEND.
