  HPFPU FPB Unload (FABCUR1) provides a new AREC parameter on EXEC
  statement.
  When AREC=NO is specified, an unloaded segment record data set
  does not include an area information record.
  This enhancement is for Fits MR0118054534.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• HPFPU FPB Unload (FABCUR1) has been enhanced to add a new AREC
  parameter on the EXEC statement.
  
  AREC=Y|YES|N|NO is allowed.
  
  When AREC=Y or YES is specified, an unloaded segment record data
  set includes an area information record.
  When AREC=N or NO  is specified, an unloaded segment record data
  set does not include an area information record.
  
  HPFPU FPB RELOAD (FABCUR3) can't process the unloaded segment
  record data set created with AREC=N or NO.
  
  The module FABC1GCD has been modified to set AREC parameter
  from the site default table or system default if AREC parameter
  is not specified on EXEC statement.
  
  The module FABC1INI and FABC1SB0 have been reassembled.
  
  The macro FABC1SBM has been modified as follows;
  
   When AREC=Y is specified, set AREC=Y bit (EXEFYEAC)
   to EXEC flag (EXEFLAGS) in order to clarify that AREC
   parameter is specified on EXEC statement.
  
  The macro UR1WSTG0 has been modified to introduce EXEFYEAC.
  
  The macro FABCOP1M has been modified to add a new AREC
  parameter. This macro generates Site Default Table.
