    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
    ****************************************************************
    This APAR provides a new optional function that is Image Copy
    delete function. This is the function that HP Image copy deletes
    the output image copy data set that is not completed or includes
    some errors, when the image copy process failed due to error or
    abnormal end. This function deletes incomplete image copy data
    set. This function deletes not only failed image copy data set
    but also related image copy data sets when the function runs
    with NOTIFYMODE=COND or RESTART=Y.
    
    This enhancement is for FITS MR032509370.
    
    This function is enabled with following conditions:
    - DEL_ICDS=Y is specified in the GLOBAL statement or defined in
    the site default table.
    - Image copy data set is allocated dynamically.
    
    Notes:
    If the data set is allocated as JCL DD statements, the image
    copy data set is not deleted.
    If the data set is allocated outside of HP Image Copy process,
    the image copy data set is not deleted.
    The data set on the tape volumes can not be deleted physically,
    but its catalog information is deleted when the function runs
    with ICCAT=Y.
    
    *** NOTICE ! ***
     This APAR changes the length of the control block and the data
     in Checkpoint file of HP Image Copy V4.2. The Checkpoint data
     that is created by HP Image Copy V4.2 without fix of APAR
     PM68259 is not valid after applying APAR PM68259. Users who
     use Checkpoint Restart function must delete previous
     Checkpoint file before running HP Image Copy, when you apply
     the maintenance of APAR PM68259.
    
    For more detail, please refer HP Image Copy V4.2 DCF that will
    be available later. When the DCF becomes available, this APAR
    information will be update so as to point the DCF document.
    
    This APAR also fixes the following three problems:
    1. The time stamps of UIC record in DBRC RECON data sets are not
       the same.
       This problem occurs in one of the following conditions.
       - DBALL=(Y,Y) and VIC=Y.
       - FASTIC=(,FDUMP), REGTIMESTMP=SAME and VIC=Y
       The cause of this problem is that HP Image Copy does not
       specify the RUNTIME parameter to NOTIFY.UIC command.
       Therefore the current time stamp is used as the time stamp of
       UIC record.
    2. HP Image Copy Checkpoint Restart function with
       RESTART=(Y,HASH) can not reprocess the DBDS which has the
       pointer error when HP Image Copy terminates with ABEND.
       The cause of this problem is that HP Image Copy does not
       check the status of pointer error to identify reprocessed
       DBDS.
    3. The specification of CATLGERROR > 8 in HPSRETCD DD can not
       stop registering the IC record that has been detected as a
       catalog failure to DBRC RECON data sets.
       This problem occurs in one of the following conditions.
       - NOTIFYMODE=COND
       - NOTIFYMODE=FORCE and FASTIC=(,COPY)
       - NOTIFYMODE=FORCE and FASTIC=(,FDUMP)

    |
    |   Y
    |   Specifies that the image copy data set which is dynamically
    |   allocated is deleted, if the image copy of the database data
    |   set process fails.
    |   When Image Copy function runs with DBRC=Y and the database
    |   data set is registered in the DBRC RECON data set, IC record
    |   in the DBRC RECON data set is also deleted.
    |   The IC data set on the tape volume is not deleted even if
    |   DEL_ICDS=Y is specified. But the IC data set is uncataloged
    |   and the IC record in the DBRC RECON data set is deleted.
    |
    |   N
    |   Specifies that the image copy data set is not deleted even
    |   if the image copy of the database data set process fails.
    |   If IC record has been already registered in the DBRC RECON
    |   data set, the IC record is not deleted.
    |
    | Default value
    |   DEL_ICDS=N
    |
    | Note: DEL_ICDS=Y works for the image copy data set that is
    | allocated dynamically by Image Copy function of HP Image Copy.
    | HP Image Copy does not delete the image Copy data set under
    | the following conditions:
    |   - The image copy data is defined by DD card in the running
    |     JCL.
    |   - The image copy data set is allocated outside of HP Image
    |     Copy process.
    |   - The image copy data set resides on the tape volume.
    | The IC record of the DBRC RECON data set is deleted with
    | these conditions.

    | In the Image Copy function, this command is issued after the
    | DELETE.IC or DELETE.UIC command.
    | In the Create Image Copy function, this command is issued
