  ****************************************************************
  By this APAR, the following two changes are made to the
  Integrity Checker utility:
  
  1. Suppresses Integrity Checker WTO messages if a global option
  module is not set up.
  
  To activate Integrity Checker, a global option module must be
  created and added to the STEPLIB concatenation. In other words,
  if a global option module is not found in the STEPLIB
  concatenation, Integrity Checker will not be activated.
  
  Integrity Checker issues the following messages when a global
  option module is not found:
    FABL0103W LIU INTEGRITY CHECKER DEACTIVATED
    FABL0113W LIU CONFIGURATION NOT FOUND
    FABL0114I IMS VERSION WAS RETRIEVED
  These messages can mislead users by implying unexpected warning
  conditions.
  
  This APAR suppresses these messages when a global option module
  is not found in the STEPLIB concatenation. Specific changes are
  as follows:
   - Messages FABL0103W and FABL0113W are deleted.
   - Message FABL0114I is issued only when a global option module
  is found.
  
  2. Displays the version of IMS in an Integrity Checker message.
  
  This APAR changes the FABL0114I message as follows:
    FABL0114I LIU INTEGRITY CHECKER ACTIVATED. IMS VERSION IS
  version
  
  As previously described, this message is issued only when
  Integrity Checker is activated. The new message text clearly
  describes the processing status together with the version of IMS
  that is being used.
