  This APAR provides the new function of ACBLIB Analyzer utility
  which reports the date and time when the ACB members were
  generated to the Library Contents report.
  
  To use this function, specify a new operand GENDATE=YES on the
  LISTLIB command in the ACBSYSIN control statement.
  
  If GENDATE=YES is specified,
   - All the reports, except the Input Specifications report, are
     generated in a new FABQRPT data set.
   - The width of reports generated in the FABQRPT data set is
     wide (LRECL=121) because the date and time fields are
     included in the Library Contents report.
  
  If GENDATE= is not specified or GENDATE=NO is specified,
  ACBLIB Analyzer utility reports same as before.
  
  
  Additionally, this APAR fixes the problem that ACBLIB Analyzer
  utility reports some non-alias ACBLIB members as alias members
  on the COMMENTS column in the Library Contents report.
  It was occurred in the following conditions:
   - ACBLIB has an alias member (MEMBER_A) and its type is DMB.
     The next member (MEMBER_B) in alphabetical order by its name
     in ACBLIB is non-alias and PSB.
     ACBLIB Analyzer utility reports MEMBER_B as alias.
   - ACBLIB has an alias member (MEMBER_A) and its type is PSB.
     The next member (MEMBER_B) in alphabetical order by its name
     in ACBLIB is non-alias and DMB.
     ACBLIB Analyzer utility reports MEMBER_B as alias.
