  By this APAR, SPMN is enhanced to support data sets on the
  Extended Address Volume (EAV).
  
  Note that format of some reports and messages are changed
  by this APAR.The changes are applied not only for EAV but
  all cases.
  
  The changed reports are follows:
   - Space Analysis by Data Set report
   - Total DASD Utilization by Volume/Device-Type report
   - Legend report
   - Space Monitor Exception report
  
  The overview of format changes are:
  - In the Total DASD Utilization by Volume/Device-Type
    report, digits of the number cylinders are increased
    and start positions of some fields are moved to right.
  - In Space Monitor Exception report, some warning messages
    are changed to make clear the meanings. The messages appear
    when thresholds exceptions are detected.
  - In all of above reports, an asterisk(*) is added to device
    number in case of EAV.
    Example:.
      3390-A  : When the dasd volume is 3390-A and has cylinders
                less than 65520.
      3390-A* : When the dasd volume is 3390-A and has cylinders
                65520 or more.
