Error description

• HD Pointer Checker causes abend 0C4 at offset X'2C8' in
  FABPDNLM CSECT in load module FABPACTL. The data
    at PSW contains X'0E0E' (MVCL 0,14). The abend is caused
    when specified image copy in DATABASE statement in
    PROCCTL is a virtual image copy.

  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  The ABEND0C4 occurs when all of the following conditions are
  satisfied:
   - Run HD Pointer Checker (HDPC) as FABPMAIN job.
   - DATASET=IMAGECOPY is specified in the PROCCTL statement
     for index database.
   - DD statement of the input image copy data set is omitted.
   - Prior to the HDPC run,  IBM High Performance Image Copy
     (HPIC) is run with the VIC=Y option.
  
  When VIC=Y option is specified, HPIC does not create an image
  copy data set of the index database, but creates a user image
  copy (USER IC) record in the RECON data set. The layout of user
  image copy record is different from the layout of the standard
  image copy record.
  HDPC erroneously refers to the user image copy record as a
  standard image copy record and that causes the ABEND0C4.
  

Problem conclusion

• The module FABPRCHK has been fixed not to use the 'USER IC'
  RECON record to retrieve the information of an image copy data
  set.
