  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  *                       1-For an Index db with symbolic        *
  *                       pointers, ps3i shows an rba field      *
  *                       incorrectly.                           *
  *                       2-For a PSINDEX db, panel=fabzps3p     *
  *                       incorrectly removes blanks from the    *
  *                       rootkey field.                         *
  *                       3-Undo may fail,if you had done        *
  *                       segment retrieval via a hex key        *
  *                       value.                                 *
  *                       4-New requirement,save changes in      *
  *                       a format suitable for input to         *
  *                       batch DBR. The idea is, if you         *
  *                       make a specifc change to a db, you     *
  *                       want to capture that change in         *
  *                       a batch job. Then you can run          *
  *                       that batch job to apply the            *
  *                       same change to an exact copy of        *
  *                       that database in another               *
  *                       dataset.                               *
  *                                                              *

  ****************************************************************
   1-For an index db with symbolic
   pointers,the segments do NOT have an
   rba pointer in the segment, so the
   rba field on ps3i should not appear
   2-For a PSINDEX db, panel=fabzps3p
   incorrectly removes blanks from the
   rootkey field.
   3-If you access a segment via a
   hex key value, then make a change,
   a subsequent UNDO may fail.
   4-New requirement, DBR saves all
   current changes in an UNDO table,and
   when you 'undo' them,they are
   removed from this table. A new
   option on main menu, will use the
   current UNDO table entries to
   create batch job SYSIN file that
   will duplicate these current
   changes.
  

Problem conclusion

• The first three problems in the
  summary section were resolved via
  simple logic corrections. The 4th
  item,the new requirement has these
  highlights,and will be fully
  documented in the users guide.
   DBR saves all
   current changes in an UNDO table,and
   when you 'undo' them,they are
   removed from this table. A new
   option on main menu, will use the
   current UNDO table entries to
   create batch job SYSIN file that
   will duplicate these current
   changes. This option is option 5,
  "Save changes in batch format"
  This option will create a file named
  userid.prodid.dbd.batchinp, where
  userid,prodid,dbd are all variables.
  Below, is a sample of this file.
  
  //* DBR ONLINE UPDATED DATASET=
  //* GKRAUSE.HPPC.DB.DSCRSDV0
  //* COPY THESE RECORDS TO SYSIN
  //* IN THE VSAM BATCH JOB
   CNV  4096
   VER 0000 108400000000100C00000000010000000004000010460
   REP 0000 108400000000100C00000000010000000004000000000
  
  The comment lines tell the user
  which DB was changed,and its type
  VSAM/OSAM. These lines need not be
  copied to the appropriate batch job.
  THe CNV,VER,REP lines are to be copied
  to the batch jobs SYSIN.
