  This APAR includes following APAR of IMS HP Image Copy V4R1:
  
  PM26483
   HP Image Copy ends normally but the primary output image copy
   data set is cataloged with the incorrect device type when all
   of the following conditions are satisfied:
   - Image Copy function or Create Image copy function is
     processed.
   - The STACK= keyword is specified in the ICEIN control
     statement.
   - The secondary output image copy is requested.
   - The device type of the primary output image copy data set is
     different from the one of the secondary output image copy
     data set.
  
   Therefore succeeding Recovery function or Create Image Copy
   function will fail to dynamically allocate the input image copy
   data sets by using the incorrect catalog information.
  
   The cause of the problem is that HP Image Copy uses the device
   type of the secondary image copy data set as the device type
   for the primary image copy data set at catalog time, so that
   the device type in the catalog for the primary image copy data
   set is incorrect.
  
  Also, this APAR fixes following problem:
  
  The Image Copy Process Summary report shows incorrect return
  code of the image copy processing for the database when all of
  the following conditions are satisfied:
  - The DEDBPC=Y keyword is specified in the ICEIN control
    statement.
  - HP Image Copy processes fast path DB and full function DB in
    that order.
  - Some errors found in the HASH Check process of the DEDB
    Pointer Checker utility.
  
  The cause of the problem is that HP Image Copy does not clear
  return code save area for the HASH Check process of the DEDB
  Pointer Checker utility.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABJDOPN and FABJCRC1 have been modified to use the correct
  device type for the CATALOG macro.
  
  FABJDPSN and FABJFCDN have been modified to clear return code
  save area for the HASH Check process of the DEDB Pointer Checker
  utility.
  
  The following modules have been reassembled.
    FABJDPS9 FABJDPSA FABJDPSB FABJDPS2
    FABJFCD9 FABJFCDA FABJFCDB FABJFCD2
