  ****************************************************************
  When HPIC Image Copy function has selected the IDRC mode
  compaction for the Magnetic Tape Subsystem, HPIC Recovery
  function mishandles a record format of the image copy
  data sets.
  
  The record format of generated image copy data set is VBS, when
  the COMP=Y is requested and HPIC selects IDRC instead of HPIC
  compression routine. But HPIC recovery function processes it as
  FBS format and does not care the length field.
  
  Therefore HPIC recovery function can not put the correct data in
  the database. If the database is an index, message DFS2802A
  ( MSGDFS2802A ) may issue.
  
  HPIC Image Copy function correct register usage.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJRDB7, FABJRDB8 and FABJRDB9 have been modified to process
  Image copy data sets that are compressed by IDRC compaction as
  VBS record format.
  
  FABJDMPN has been modified register usages. And reassembled
  FABJDMP7, FABJDMP8, and FABJDMP9.
