  ****************************************************************
  When HPPC is run for image copies (except for Fast Recovery
  image copies taken with IMS HP Image Copy and SMSOFFLC type
  image copies) of a secondary index database with non-unique
  keys, HPPC wrongly calculates relative byte addresses (RBA) of
  a part of logical records in an overflow data set of the
  secondary index database because VSAM CI overhead is not be
  considered correctly.
  As the result, when HASH=NO is specified, HPPC incorrectly
  issues MSGFABP0971E and MSGFABP0974E. When HASH=YES is
  specified, HPPC incorrectly issues MSGFABP1994E and
  MSGFABP2005E.
  

Problem conclusion

• HPPC has modified to fix this error.
