  *                      1) fse=y                                *
  *                      or  raps=y on panelid=ps1,should be     *

  *                      fail when accessing db with             *
  *                      odd-valued block size  3) panelid=ps1   *
  *                      fail if nothing entered. 4) data        *
  *                      display panels, zapping valid data      *

  *                      making a db change  6) better data      *
  *                      entry validation                        *
  *                      7) accessing segments that were         *
  *                      defined with EXIT parameter in the      *
  *                      SEGM of DBDGEN                          *
  *                                                              *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  1. fse=y should fail,with msg=z073 for
  blocks that do not have a valid FSE
  chain. raps=y should fail,with msg=
  z074 for 'unused' blocks, but should
  work for bitmap blocks since they do
  have raps.
  2. for this db type, panelid=ps1
  processing may fail.
  3. on ps1,hit enter,without filling
  in any fields, fail.
  4. changing data in a segment may
  fail if the segment
  has no key field.
  5. now,when you change data in a
  segment or block, you get a
  confirmation message prior to
  the change occurring. you can cancel
  the change.
  6. the block and segment display
  panels now have better validation of
  data entered.
  7. if your dbdgen had EXIT on any
  SEGM ,dbr may fail trying to access
  those segments.
