  This error occurs when all of the following conditions are
  satisfied:
  - HD Pointer Checker runs as a stand alone utility.
  - PROC IXKEYCHK=YES is specified to the PROCCTL data set.
  - A PHIDAM data base is processed and the PSINDEX data base
  is also specified to the DATABASE statement in the PROCCTL data
  set.
  - The index source segment of PSINDEX data base is in a dataset
  group (DSG) A.
  - An image copy of PHIDAM database is processed, or
    a DSG X (PHIDAM primary index) is excluded from the
    DATABASE statement.
  
  In these conditions, HD Pointer Checker should not check the
  PHIDAM primary index because of the functional restriction.
  But, HD Pointer Checker attempts to check the primary index
  incorrectly. It causes MSGFABP3661E erroneously.
  FABP3661E DB#: 001 PID: 00001 DSG#:  A OF TA RECORD IS
  DIFFERENT FROM DBD
  

Problem conclusion

• The module FABPLBLD did not recognize the primary index
  correctly. It has been changed to recognize the DBD definition
  of the primary index correctly.
