  This APAR includes the forward fit fix for IMS HP Image Copy
  APAR PM60811.
  
  Recovery function of HP Image Copy makes a broken OSAM database,
  when it runs with following conditions:
  - Input data of the Recovery function is both image copy data
    set and SLDS log data sets.
  - Recovered database data set is allocated by JCL definition
    in a JOB step with DISP=NEW.
  - High Performance I/O (HPIO) is used.
  
  The cause of making the broken OSAM database is that HP Image
  Copy does not change the data set disposition in JFCB to OLD
  when applying log. So that HP image copy can not get the data
  record from the database and merge log data. Then database
  record is overwritten with incorrect record format.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJRDBA, FABJRDBB, FABJRDB2 and FABJRDB9 have been modified to
  change to DISP=OLD in JFCB from DISP=NEW before LOG update
  process.
