  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  1. ICAT batch mode install causes the following error:
  Invalid parameter sequence: Product Parameter does not belong to
  this Begin/End-Block.
  2. Allocation of runtime datasets fails.
  
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  1. In case the parameters are set during ICAT configuration the
  parameters will be made available for batch mode install. If the
  parameters are not set the parameters will be commented out.
  The parameters fullfil the naming conventions now and therefore
  batch mode install runs successfully.
  2. The enabling flags for the log and output datasets are
  evaluated correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. In case the parameters are set during ICAT configuration the
  parameters will be made available for batch mode install. If the
  parameters are not set the parameters will be commented out.
  The parameters fullfil the naming conventions now and therefore
  batch mode install runs successfully.
  2. The enabling flags for the log and output datasets are
  evaluated correctly.
