  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: AN ABEND0C4 OCCURRED DURING THE COLLECT *
  *                      PROCESS FOR A GROUP CONTAINING          *
  *                      THOUSANDS OF DBDS. THE ABEND OCCURRED   *
  *                      AFTER ABOUT 3900 DBDS WERE COLLECTED.   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF      *
  ****************************************************************
  AN ABENDOC4 OCCURRED DURING THE COLLECTION OF A CS GROUP
  CONTAINING OVER 3900 DBDS, GREATLY EXCEEDING THE NUMBER OF DBDS
  RECOMMENDED FOR A CONTROL SUITE GROUP.
  TOO MANY DBDS MAY RESULT IN CONTROL SUITE DATA SET OUT-OF-SPACE
  PROBLEMS OR IF THE COLLECT FUNCTION ACTUALLY ENDS OK THEN THE
  NUMBER OF JOBSTEPS THAT MAY BE GENERATED (FOR EXAMPLE A REORG
  JOBSTEAM) WILL EXCEED THE OPERATING SYSTEM LIMIT.
  CS GROUPS ARE DESIGNED TO CONTAIN MANAGEABLE SETS OF DATABASES
  BASED ON DEPENDENCIES THAT RESULT FROM LOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS
  OR USER APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS.
  

Problem conclusion

• A DBD LIMIT FIELD HAS BEEN ADDED TO COLLECTION PANEL IDLSOPT1.
  THIS FIELD SETS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DBDS FOR A CS GROUP.
  THE RANGE IS 1-60. IF THE NUMBER OF DBDS IN THE DBDLIST EXCEEDS
  THIS LIMIT, WARNING PANEL IDL$GRLS WILL BE DISPLAYED BEFORE
  THE COLLECT PROCESS CONTINUES.
  THE USER WILL HAVE EITHER THE OPTION TO EDIT THE DBDLIST TO
  A NUMBER OF DBDS WITHIN THE SET LIMIT, OR TO OVERRIDE THE
  LIMIT AND CONTINUE THE COLLECTION AS IS.
  ADDITIONAL ITEMS INCLUDED AS CORRECTIONS OR ADDITIONS IN THIS
  APAR.
  1.) PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT MADE TO THE LISTC EXEC FOR CATALOGUE
      LOOKUP.
  2.) NEW CONTROL SUITE "REVIEW COLLECTED DATA" FUNCTION PANEL
      ADDED.
