Error description

  • This enhancement enables FABDRMIF to allocate the DMCB area
    above the 24-bit address line when DMCB_LOC=ANY is specified.
    As a result, FABDRMIF can process more databases than before.
    
    This enhancement is being implemented as a result of IDEA
    IMSFPSP-I-13.

    * FABCRMIF and FABDRMIF allocated all                          *

    ****************************************************************
    This enhancement enables FABCRMIF and FABDRMIF to support
    DMCB_LOC=ANY, allowing the Database Description Table (DDT) to
    be allocated above the 24-bit address space and enabling
    databases that have a large number of defined areas to be
    processed.
    
    This enhancement is being implemented as a result of IDEA
    requirement IMSFPSP-I-13.
