PM95512: REWORK CLIST ADBR TO REMOVE REFERENCE OF NON-EXISTING TABLE MEMBER ADBXPARM.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Prior to DB2 Admin Tool's exploitation of TCz, the General
  Customization Table was deemed optional. The default is CUST(Y)
  which means to use the values from the Customization table.
  Using ADBXPARM instead of ADBTPARM is a technique used to
  trigger bypassing of ADBTPARM.
  Consider removing ADBXPARM out of the equation from ADBR and
  bypass ADBTPARM as an added precaution and serviceability
  perspective.

  ****************************************************************
  The Initialization process advertises the use of parameter
  CUST(N) within CLIST members ADBL, ADB, and ADBR to bypass the
  values from the General Customization table ADBTPARM.  This
  parameter option should no longer be used since the values
  from the General Customization table ADBTPARM are required.
  References to non-existing table member ADBXPARM has also
  been removed to alleviate confusion and potential bypass of
  ADBTPARM.
  
  This APAR also fixes the following dialog error caused by
  variable #CCQ_ADB_ADBDBRM in prolog history information in
  SADBDENU template ADBCFGBD:
  
  Output overflow  - ISPF156  Line to be written
  greater than data set LRECL 80.
