Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• -Numerous changes have been made to make ART compatible with
  DB2 V8
  -The IMS V9 changes has almost no impact on ART. After
  carefully reading the IMS V9 release guide, very slight changes
  have been made to make ART compatible with IMS V9.
  -Programmer's name option within the JOB card of the DRM#XIN1
  member has been shortened.
  -DRMPPLIB panel has been modified so that the incorrect value
  is rejected and a message is issued to inform the user about
  the error.
  -CSXINSTL, SDIUX83 and CSKINS2 has been modified and SDIUX21
  has been created so that the BIND is only run for those DB2
  susbsytems that are supposed to be active on the current
  partition (where the interactive part of ART is being used).
  The relationship between DB2 ssid and system name is assumed to
  be that indicated withi the DRMDSGS member.
  -S710Y27, S810Y27 have been modified.
  -CS1RECOV, SDIUU40, SDIUU72, SDIUY72, CS1IC csect and CSSRECOV,
  CSSRECTS, CSSRECFR, CSSRCHAL, CSSIXHAL, CSSFAVIM, CSURECOV,
  CS1IC, CSSIC, CSSIMSEX, CSSIMSOL, CSSIMSI2, CSUIC, CUSTOM
  skeletons have been changed.
  -Skeletons were modified so that COPY sysin with CHECKPAGE
  and/or PARALLEL keywords can be generated.
  -DDMAX defaults to 1635
  -DDMAX defaults to 1635
  -ART first rebuilds the long records to get a record readable
  by the current reading routine. To be able to handle huge
  records (up to 16 Mb), some load modules now have the AMODE(31).
