  This APAR fixes the following 2 problems of IMS HP Image Copy
  Version 4 Release 2:
  1. Image Copy function terminates with ABEND S0C4-11
     ( ABEND0C4 RSN11 ) when the database does not havethe data
     set group (DSG) and its DBD is generated in the old IMS
     environment.
  
     IMS HP Image Copy searches the segment definition in the DBD
     for finding related index database definitions. When it is
     processed, IMS HP Image Copy refers the field for the number
     of segments in each data set of the DSG and uses it as a
     loop counter for segment search process. In some non-DSG DBD
     which is generated in the old IMS version, the number in the
     field is incorrect and IMS HP Image Copy tries to use
     disable address and terminates with ABEND S0C4.
  
     IMS HP Image Copy should use value in the field for the
     number of segments in the database when it is non-DSG
     database. And also it should bypass the index search process
     if IDXSRCH=N is applied the full function databases.
  
  2. Image Copy function does not process the virtual image copy
     for the necessary index databases when the VIC=N is applied
     to some databases which are processed int the same JOB step.
     IMS HP Image Copy mishandles the VIC applied flag in the
     control block if VIC=Y is not applied to some databases in
     the same JOB step.
  

Problem conclusion

• IMS HP Image Copy applied following changes:
  - Refer the field for number of segments in the database when it
    is non-DSG database.
  - Bypass the index search process if IDXSRCH=N is applied the
    full function databases.
  - Correct the handling for VIC applied flag process if VIC=Y is
    not applied to some databases in the same JOB step.
