  ****************************************************************
  FABPATH0 address space started by HD Pointer Checker issues
  ABENDU0041 when multiple jobs of Database Recovery Facility run
  at the same time. This error is due to the fact that HDPC jobs
  use the same job name FABPATH0, so in the latter job, DBRC
  failed to sign on to the RECON data set and causes ABEND.
  

Problem conclusion

• By APAR PK66458 of Database Recovery Facility, DRF allows to
  specify job name and procedure name for HDPC. By this APAR,
  HD Pointer Checker is enabled to start the specified procedure
  with the specified job name.
  
  The following macros and module have been changed:
  FABPAPI FABPAPID FABPAPIP FABPHAPI
  
  The following sample procedure has been changed:
  FABPATH0
  
  The following sample procedure has been added:
  FABPATHZ
  
  Documentation Changes:
  Note: The section numbers are those of the BookManager (BKMGR)
  book.
  
  The documentation is modified as follows:
  ==============================================================
    IMS High Performance Pointer Checker for z/OS, V2R2,
    User's Guide (SC18997400)
  ==============================================================
  2.0  HD Pointer Checker
  2.14 Tailoring HD Pointer Checker for IMS Database Recovery
       Facility
  |2.14.2   FABPATH0 and FABPATHZ procedure
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  The following description is changed.
  
  |When IMS Database Recovery Facility (DRF) calls the HASH Check
  |function, HD Pointer Checker starts a procedure specified by
  |DRF. When procedure name is not specified explicitly, the
  |default procedure name is FABPATH0 when job name is not
  |specified, and FABPATHZ when job name is specified.
  |The FABPATHx builds environmental setting for the HASH pointer
  |checking. A FABPATHx procedure must exist in one of the
  |libraries in the SYS1.PROCLIB concatenation.
  
  The Following description is added.
  
  |The FABPATHZ default procedure which is used when job name is
  |specified by DRF, differs from the FABPATH0 procedure in the
  |following respects.
  |
  | - Parameter "L1=" is used instead of "HPPCLIB1"
  | - Parameter "L2=" is used instead of "HPPCLIB2"
