  HPIC Recovery function ends with RC=8 and
   MSG DFS301A ( MSGDFS301A ) when FREE=CLOSE is specified on DD
  card for image copy data set in JCL.
  
  The causes of the problem are as follows:
  - HPIC Recovery function checks whether the image copy data set
    is in the Fast Recovery Image Copy format or not prior to the
    recovery processing, when image copy data set exists on DASD.
  - When FREE=CLOSE is specified on DD card for the input image
    copy data set, the DD is deallocated by the CLOSE call of
    the format check process. Then, the OPEN call fails in the
    recovery process because the DD has already been deallocated.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJRDB7,FABJRDB8,FABJRDB9,FABJRDBA and FABJRDBB have been
  modified to issue the CLOSE call with LEAVE option when
  FREE=CLOSE is specified on DD card for image copy data set in
  JCL.
