  * IMS DB Change Accumulation Utility incorrectly displays the  *

  * INSTALL CORRECTIVE SERVICE FOR APAR/PTF.                     *
  ****************************************************************
  The Change Accumulation Utility truncates the record counts
  fields to a length of 7 which will give an incorrect count if
  the count goes over 10 million records.
  The length displayed in the report has been changed to a length
  of 9 digits for a new maximum of 999,999,999 records.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been changed in:
  Module DFSUCMN0 to increase the length of the records displayed
  to 9 digits. The module builds the structure of the record line
  to be displayed, therefore the start positions of the fields
  needed to be adjusted to the new starting positions. This now
  matches the existing logic in the Recovery Utility and Image
  Copy for the same DFS2803I message.
