  ****************************************************************
  HPIC V4R1 terminates with ABEND U3916 ( ABENDU3916 ), when one
  of the RECON data sets has failed in dynamic allocation.
  Because HPIC does not consider the case where the other 2 RECON
  data sets are available.
  HPIC should continue the process, if the other 2 RECON data sets
  have been allocated successfully.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABUARCN and FABJDALC have been modified to continue the
  process, if at least 2 RECON data sets are allocated.
  
  FABJMSGC has been modified to add information messages which
  describe dynalloc error.
  
  FABJARC0 has been reassembled.
