  This APAR fixes the following problems when running DBRF in
  interactive mode and processing a DEDB database with subset
  pointers (SSP) in Segment Prefix panel.
  1. When Segment Prefix panel is selecting the root segment of a
  DEDB database with no SDEP segment and the root segment has PCL
  to all of its direct dependent (DDEP) segments, "Ptr" and "Seq"
  in the PCL and SSP entries in the Segment Prefix panel are
  listed in the wrong order.
  
   e.g.) Pointer Entries in Segment Prefix panel
    Segment code . . 01      <- Selecting a root segment
    Ptr Seq  Tgt-SC Tgt-RBA  Position
    PTF        01   00000000   <====
    PCF  1     02   00094390
    SSP  1     02   00094324 <- "Ptr" & "Seq" must be PCL and 1.
    SSP  2     02   00094030 <- "Ptr" & "Seq" must be SSP and 1.
    PCL  1     02   0009409C <- "Ptr" & "Seq" must be SSP and 2.
  
  2. When Segment Prefix panel is selecting the DDEP segment, SSP
  entries are not shown in the Segment Prefix panel, and the
  Segment Prefix Dump panel and the Segment data panel show
  incorrect data.
  3. "SSPt" value in the Segment Prefix panel is always 0, even
  if the SSP exists. Below changes are made to the panel to fix
  this problem.
    a. "SSPt" value is now 4 digits and shows the number of SSPs
       in the processing segment correctly.
    b. "Level", the segment level, is moved to the next line.
  4. "Seq" (the sequence number of pointers) of SSP entry in the
  Segment Prefix panel does not starts from 1 after the target
  segment code changes.
  
   e.g.) Pointer Entries in Segment Prefix panel
    Ptr Seq  Tgt-SC Tgt-RBA  Position
    PTF        01   00000000   <====
    PCF  1     02   00094390
    SSP  1     02   00094324
    PCF  2     03   00094030
    SSP  2     03   0009409C <- "Seq" must be 1.
    SSP  3     03   00094108 <- "Seq" must be 2.
