  This APAR fixes the following problems:
  - When you run IMS Database Repair Facility(DBRF) interactively
    for a DEDB that has more than 99 areas, DBRF wrongly issues
    MSGFABZ005W and cannot process the DEDB.
  - When you run DBRF interactively for a DEDB that has some
    areas, it takes a long time to display the Initial Selection
    panel from the Update libraries panel.
  - When you try to undo changes that you made to a PSINDEX by
    using DBRF and specify a data set group on the "Specify DSG"
    field on the Undo changes panel, the error message "Invalid
    value" is wrongly issued on the panel.
  - When you try to undo changes that you made to more than one
    logical record of an index, PSINDEX or HISAM database by using
    DBRF, MSGFABZ007W is wrongly issued and DBRF fails to undo
    changes.
  - When you try to undo changes that you made to a DEDB in
    tracing mode and specify an area number on the "Specify DSG"
    field on the Undo changes panel, a severe internal error
    occurs and DBRF processing is aborted.
  

Problem conclusion

• Documentation Changes:
  The documentation "IMS Database Repair Facility for IMS Solution
  Packs User's Guide (SC19291600)" is changed.
  
  DBRF has been modified to process a DEDB that has more than 99
  areas. The length of each filed for specifying or displaying an
  area number on the DBRF panels is extended.
