Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: No existing users affected.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A new keyword CATDS(Y|N|D|R) has been   *
  *                      implemented to control allocation for   *
  *                      Image copy, Change accum and log        *
  *                      datasets.  The 3 options are: 1)        *
  *                      CATDS(Y) Always use the catalog, 2)     *
  *                      CATDS(N) Use catalog when available,    *
  *                      else use DBRC, 3) CATDS(R) Always use   *
  *                      DBRC for allocation information. The    *
  *                      default is CATDS(N) which is the same   *
  *                      as CATDS(N).                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF      *
  ****************************************************************
  A New keyword CATDS( ) will allow customers to control
  allocation of IC, CA and log datasets from either the MVS
  catalog, RECON, or both.
