  PDSE, the binder abends with 0F4-10 and the following messages
  may be issued.

  PDF0269A  BINDER ERROR DETECTED DURING INCLUDE MODULE/OBJECT
            CALL RC=00000010 83EE2900
  -
  Customer reports using ISPF 3.3 copy works correctly.
  If they use IEBCOPY in batch (which invokes the OEM tool
  under the covers) the job runs to completion without any abends.
  
  The abend occurs because the target name index is zero and the
  there is an unnamed section in the input module which is built
  with EDIT=NO and also has multiple aliases.

  ****************************************************************
  This problem may occur for binder regular API with
  INTENT=ACCESS to INCLUDE NOT-EDITABLE load module with
  ALIASES=YES specified.
  In such a case, the binder cannot find any entry point names
  for the aliases, since all the symbol information is removed
  when the NOT-EDITABLE load module was created, there is no
  symbol for the binder to associate with the entry point offsets
  from the PDS directory.
  

Problem conclusion

• The binder is updated to associate the alias entry point
  offsets with binder-generated symbols.
