  1.While error processing for I/O error, error exit of Media
    Manager didn't save return address. Therefore, Media Manager
    occured ABEND0C1 due to a wild branch.
  2.The buffer for the DMACPRT report was still null due to the
    I/O error. Therefore, HFPHDPA0 gets S0C9 abend at "DR"
    instruction for calculating the ROOT parameter in the
    "DMACPRT report".
  

Problem conclusion

• 1.The module HFPVOPN0 is modified to save a return address in
    the error exit of Media Manager.
  2.The module HFPHADS0 is modified to check return code from
    Media Manager, and issue MSGHFPF3351E and abend when the
    return code is not zero.
