PM05647: ALLOW TARGET VOLUME SIZES LARGER THEN SOURCE VOLUME SIZES

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• In some cases, user may want (or need) to specify target volumes
  that are larger or slightly larger then the source volumes
  because the volumes were incorrectly formatted when they were
  created.  This fix allows target volumes to be larger then
  source volumes without issuing an error.  AUTOMAP will look for
  target volumes no larger then 20 cylinders greater then the
  source in order to keep it from mapping too
  large of target volumes.
