  ****************************************************************
  ABEND 0C4 occurs at BTSCFEA0 when the multiple message
  application that not started from an IMS screen (/FORMAT) issues
  GN call and it receives the 'QD' status code under TSO
  environment.
  In this case, BTSCFEA0 is called after the control returns form
  IMS to BTS.
  Though DFSCNVT0 is deleted by IMS, BTSCFEA0 tries to branch to
  the address that was stored in loading and ABEND 0C4 occurs.
  If DFSCNVT0 is deleted, BTSCFEA0 should load the DFSCVNT0.
  So BTSRC000 should clear the save address of DFSCVNT0 after
  returning from IMS.
  

Problem conclusion

• BTSRC000 is modified to clear the save address of DFSCNVT0
  after returning from IMS.
  
  The IMS BTS User's Guide and Reference ( SC18-7149-00 )
  will be updated with following changes:
  
  5.1.4 FSS Input Function
  
     If the buffer contains no data, the user is prompted to
     supply a comma with the message "ENTER BTS COMMAND OR
     /FORMAT OR /*."
  
    add from this start line....
     When the multiple message application runs, the input data
     must be inserted from an IMS screen.
    ...to this end line
  
     To end a session, key /* and press the ENTER key.
