  ****************************************************************
  In single-step HASH Checking during the concurrent image copy
  process of IMS HP Image Copy (HPIC) jobs, HD Pointer Checker
  (HDPC) has been enhanced to support the following keywords in
  the ICEIN control statement by this APAR:
  
  - HOMECHK
  - Operands of the HDPC keyword
    - DBDIST
    - DEPDIST
    - CHAINDIST
    - COMPFACT
  
  If you specify these keywords in the HPIC jobs, HDPC prints the
  DB Record Distribution Statistics reports and the compression
  factor in the Partition Statistics reports and the Database
  Statistics reports.
  
  To use these keywords during the concurrent image copy process,
  you must apply APAR PM84891 to HPIC.
