  ****************************************************************
  This APAR enhances HD Pointer Checker to support three new
  keywords (WKDATACLASS, WKSTORCLASS, and WKHLQ) on the PROC
  statement. These keywords specify the SMS parameters that are
  applied when HD Pointer Checker dynamically allocates work data
  sets that are associated with the following DD statements:
  - MERGINnn
  - MERGI2nn
  - SORTE2nn
  - CHECKREC
  - IXKEY
  
   WKDATACLASS=
    Specifies the name of the data class for the work data sets
    that HD Pointer Checker dynamically allocates.
  
   WKSTORCLASS=
    Specifies the name of the storage class for the work data sets
    that HD Pointer Checker dynamically allocates.
  
   WKHLQ=
    Specifies the high-level qualifier for the work data sets that
    HD Pointer Checker dynamically allocates.
  
  
  In addition to the above keywords, the new parameter ESTIMATE_WK
  is added to the PROC TYPE= keyword. By using the PROC
  TYPE=ESTIMATE_WK, you can estimate the approximate sizes of the
  work data sets that are associated with the following DD
  statements:
  - MERGINnn
  - MERGI2nn
  - SORTE2nn
  - CHECKREC
  - IXKEY
