  ****************************************************************
  IMS HP Image Copy creates an invalid image copy but ends with
  RC=0 under the following conditions:
  - FASTIC=(,DUMP) process
  - OSAM database of certain BLKSIZE, such as 27941, 27966 and
    27976.
  - APAR PK23109 is applied to HPIC V4R1
  
  The following two things cause this problem:
  1. HPIC mishandles the data which is passed from DFSMSdss to
     HPIC.
     -In FASTIC=(,DUMP) processing, the input database records
      are passed from DFSMSdss to HPIC using an internal buffer.
     -The data of the buffer is needed to change into image copy
      format.
     -However, HPIC mishandles the data and can not make an image
      copy data set correctly.
  2. The size of the internal buffer has become smaller after
     APAR PK23109 was applied.
     -In using a smaller buffer, the situation which HPIC
      mishandles the buffer data occurs more frequently.
  
  HPIC should be fixed to handle the buffer data correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJFCDN has been modified to handle the internal buffer of
  DFSMSdss correctly.
  
  FABJDALC has been modified to change the size of the internal
  buffer into a larger one.
  
  The following modules have been reassembled.
    FABJFCD7, FABJFCD8, FABJFCD9, FABJFCDA, FABJFCDB
