  After applying APAR PM77057, Image Copy function or Recovery
  function of HP Image Copy terminates with ABEND S013
   ( ABEND013 ) reason 20 ( RSN20 ) for OPEN failure of the
  DFSPRINT data set if the BLKSIZE is provided on DFSPRINT DD
  card in the running JCL and its value is not multiple of 121
  bytes.
  
  By the fix of PM77057, DCB parameter of DFSPRINT DD in the IMS
  HP Image Copy program was defined with RECFM=FBA and LRECL=121
  but BLKSIZE parameter was not coded. As the result, the DFSPRINT
  data set can not be opened if the BLKSIZE of the DFSPRINT DD
  card in the JCL is not multiple of 121 bytes.
  
  HP Image Copy should be use correct BLKSIZE that is multiple of
  121 bytes even if the BLKSIZE parameter is coded on the DFSPRINT
  DD in the running JCL.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJMAIN has been modified to use BLKSIZE=121 as the parameter
  in the DCB of DFSPRINT DD always.
