  ****************************************************************
  The DUMP process of Advanced Image Copy Services creates
  incorrect image copy data sets of of database data sets that
  are allocated as extended format data sets.
  
  IMS HP Image Copy reads the track data on the DASD from DFSMSdss
  DUMP process and creates the standard image copy data sets. When
  the database data sets are allocated as extended format data
  sets, the format of the track data is unexpected and HP Image
  Copy cannnot create correct image copy data.
  

Problem conclusion

• The DUMP process of Advanced Image Copy Services does not
  support creating image copy data sets of database data sets that
  are allocated as extended format data sets. If the input
  database data sets are allocated as the exftended format data
  set, the DUMP process of Advanced Image Copy Services terminates
  with a new message FABJ0316E ( MSGFABJ0361E ) and  return code 8
  ( RC=08 ).
  
  FABJ0316E DBD=dbdname  DDN/AREA=ddname IS NOT PROCESSED DUE TO
  THE EXTENDED FORMAT DATA SET
  
  Explanation
  The process for the indicated database data set failed because
  the database data set (ddname) of database dbdname is allocated
  as an extended format data set. IMS HP Image Copy does not
  support extended format data sets in the following processes:
  - DUMP process of Advanced Image Copy Services
  - Logical copy process (CRCTYPE=L) of the Create Image Copy
    function
  
  System action
  IMS HP Image Copy ends the job with return code 8.
  
  User response
  Apply the following options and rerun the job:
  - To create an image copy with the Image Copy function,
    FASTIC=(,COPY), which enables the COPY process of the
    Advanced Image Copy Services, or FASTIC=NO, which disables
    Advanced Image Copy Services.
  - To create a copy of an image copy with the Create Image Copy
    function, CRCTYPE=P, which creates a physical copy (instead
    of CRCTYPE=L, which creates a logical copy).
