  The following parts have been changed:
  
   ************
   * DFSCHKPT *
   ************
  
   The flag CHK3CDD has been defined in the 4006 log record
   byte CHKDDFG1.  The flag indicates if the database is an
   IMS catalog database or not.
  
   ************
   * DFSRCP40 *
   ************
  
   Code has been added after label LG4006N to check if the
   DDIR is an IMS catalog database.  When the database is the
   IMS catalog, the flag CHK3CDD will be set in flag byte
   CHKDDFG1 in the 4006 log record.
  
   ************
   * DFSRESP0 *
   ************
  
   Code has been added after label LG4006D5 to check if the
   database is an IMS catalog database.  When the database is the
   IMS catalog, the flag DDIR3CDD will be set in flag byte
   DDIRFLGD in the DDIR control block.
  
  Note:  A cold start is required to remove any orphaned catalog
  DDIRs that were created before this fix was applied.  Before
  this APAR there was no flag in the log to allow IMS to
  determine which DDIRs were created to be used as the IMS
  catalog which is why this APAR was required.
  After this APAR is applied and the catalog is enabled
  any orphaned DDIRs will be automatically removed at the next
  restart of IMS.
