  ****************************************************************
  This APAR enables HDPC stand-alone (FABPMAIN) jobs in the DBB
  region to run under the IMS-managed ACBs environment of IMS V14.
  If HDPC in the DBB region runs under the IMS-managed ACBs
  environment, the IMSACB DD statement does not need to be
  specified in your HDPC JCL.

  - Restrictions and considerations
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  <<The following restriction is added:>>
  
  - Restrictions for running HD Pointer Checker in the
    IMS-managed ACBs environment
  
    When HD Pointer Checker runs under the IMS-managed ACBs
    environment, you cannot run HD Pointer Checker in the ULU and
    DLI region.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  - Job control language
   - FABPMAIN EXEC statement
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  <<The following description is added:>>
  
  Additional requirements for running HD Pointer Checker in the
  IMS-managed ACBs environment.
  
   When you run HD Pointer Checker in the IMS-managed ACBs
   environment, specify the EXEC statement as follows:
  
     // EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,
     // PARM=(DBB,FABPMAIN,psbname,,,,,,,,,,,dbrc,N,
     // ,,,,,,,,,,,'DFSDF=xxx')
  
     or
  
     // EXEC PGM=FABPPC00,
     // PARM=(DBB,FABPMAIN,psbname,,,,,,,,,,,dbrc,N,
     // ,,,,,,,,,,,'DFSDF=xxx')
  
   Note: If you specify the library that contains the Catalog
   Definition exit routine (DFS3CDX0) in the STEPLIB DD statement,
   you do not need to specify the DFSDF=xxx parameter.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------
   - FABPMAIN DD statements
    - DD statements for PROC TYPE=ALL
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  <<The description about the additional requirements of the
    IMSACB DD in Table 6 is changed as follows:>>
  
  You must specify this DD statement when the job runs in the DBB
  region. However, when HD Pointer Checker in the DBB region runs
  under the IMS-managed ACBs environment, you do not need to
  specify this DD statement. In this case, even if you specify the
  DD statement, the DD statement is ignored.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------
    - DD statements for PROC TYPE=SCAN
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  <<The description about the additional requirements of the
    IMSACB DD in Table 9 is changed as follows:>>
  
  You must specify this DD statement when the job runs in the DBB
  region. However, when HD Pointer Checker in the DBB region runs
  under the IMS-managed ACBs environment, you do not need to
  specify this DD statement. In this case, even if you specify the
  DD statement, the DD statement is ignored.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------
    - DD statements for PROC TYPE=CHECK
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  <<The description about the additional requirements of the
    IMSACB DD in Table 12 is changed as follows:>>
  
  You must specify this DD statement when the job runs in the DBB
  region. However, when HD Pointer Checker in the DBB region runs
  under the IMS-managed ACBs environment, you do not need to
  specify this DD statement. In this case, even if you specify the
  DD statement, the DD statement is ignored.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------
    - DD statements for PROC TYPE=BLKMAP
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  <<The description about the additional requirements of the
    IMSACB DD in Table 14 is changed as follows:>>
  
  You must specify this DD statement when the job runs in the DBB
  region. However, when HD Pointer Checker in the DBB region runs
  under the IMS-managed ACBs environment, you do not need to
  specify this DD statement. In this case, even if you specify the
  DD statement, the DD statement is ignored.
  
  --------------------------------------------------------------
    - DD statement description
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  <<The description about the IMSACB DD is changed as follows:>>
  
  IMSACB DD
   This optional input data set is an IMS.ACBLIB (partitioned data
   set). You must code this DD statement if HD Pointer Checker
   runs in a DBB region. However, when HD Pointer Checker in the
   DBB region runs under the IMS-managed ACBs environment, you do
   not need to specify this DD statement. In this case, even if
   you specify the DD statement, the DD statement is ignored.
