  ****************************************************************
  This APAR fixes Advanced ACBGEN not to end with ABENDS0C4 after
  Advanced ACBGEN APAR PI60300 is applied.
  
  The problem is caused when the following all conditions met.
  1. Advanced ACBGEN is not invoked by the IMS region controller
  program, PGM=DFSRRC00,PARM=UPB.
  2. Advanced ACBGEN APAR PI60300 is applied.
  
  Advanced ACBGEN with PI60300 assumes a parameter which is
  created by IMS region controller program.
  When Advanced ACBGEN is not invoked by the IMS region controller
  program, the parameter is not prepared. It causes the ABEND.
  
  This APAR fixes Advanced ACBGEN to avoid the ABEND by checking
  the caller and using the parameter properly.
