  ****************************************************************
  Advanced ACBGEN utility with IMS V12 or later is fixed to
  resolve the same problem reported by IMS V13 APAR PI27237.
  
  The specification of ACBCATWK data set was changed by IMS APAR
  PI27237. The new specification solves the problem that the time
  stamp is incorrect when IMS Catalog Populate utility (DFS3PU00)
  uses the ACBCATWK data set to populate an IMS catalog.
  The problem occurs only for PSB that has a mixture of GSAM and
  Full Function databases.
  
  Advanced ACBGEN utility provides ACBCATWK data set with the new
  specification for the IMS version 12 or later.
  The time stamp stored in ACBCATWK data set includes the year,
  day and the time of the day instead of only the time of the
  day.
  
  The restriction of Catalog Manager utility is changed for the
  fix and the documentation is updated.
  

Problem conclusion

• The following module has been changed to fix the above problem:
   - FABQMAIN
  
  ========================
  = DOCUMENTATION CHANGE =
  ========================
  The documentation " IMS Library Integrity Utilities for
  z/OS, V2R2, User's Guide (SC19-3979-01)" is changed as follows.
  ================================================================
  Chapter 9. Catalog Manager utility
   Catalog Manager utility restrictions
  :
   - The Catalog Manager utility checks only DBDs and PSBs that
     are found in the ACB libraries. DBDs and PSBs that are found
     in the IMS catalog but not in the ACB libraries are not
     checked or included in the IMS Catalog Validation report.
  |- Depending on the maintenance level of IMS, the Catalog
  |  Manager utility cannot validate PSBs that contain PCBs
  |  referring to a GSAM or a logical database. This is because no
  |  time stamp information is stored for such PSBs in the IMS
  |  catalog. To validate such PSBs generated by IMS Version 13,
  |  you must apply APAR PI27237 to IMS.
