  This fix adds support to CICS Batch Application Control
  to run with CICS TS V5.1
  
  A documentation change is made to the CICS Batch Application
  Control User's Guide (SC34-6321-06).  The change on page 13 is
  to note 1 below figure 4 "CEDA commands to define the CBK
  programs and mapset in your CSD", as decribed below:
  
  Additional text is added to Note 1 at the end of the second
  sentence, the text is "; or 68 if you are installing CICS BAC in
  a CICS TS 5.1 region."
  
  The note should now read:
  
  1. In the CEDA commands shown in Figure 4, replace cbkgroup with
  any character string allowed by the CEDA transaction that meets
  your installation standards. Replace the nn in the program names
  CBKFSXnn and CBKSPXnn with 53 if you are installing CICS BAC in
  a CICS TS 1.3 region; 62 if you are installing CICS BAC in a
  CICS TS 2.2 region; 63 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS
  TS 2.3 region; 64 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS
  3.1 region; 65 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 3.2
  region; 66 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 4.1
  region; 67 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 4.2
  region; or 68 if you are installing CICS BAC in a CICS TS 5.1
  region.  You can also define the programs for all these CICS
  releases if you want to.

  run with CICS TS V5.1
