Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• Support the large block interface (LBI):
  The new keyword 'LBI' has been added. The LBI keyword specifies
  whether the Image Copy function uses the large block interface
  (LBI), which allows block sizes that are greater than 32 KB,
  when it dynamically allocates output image copy data sets on a
  tape device.
  
  Change the handling of Fast Path secondary indexes:
  Image Copy function identifies Fast Path secondary indexes and
  processes image copy creation without IDXSRCH=Y option. The
  area data set that uses the secondary index database must be
  processed in the same job step. However, if FPINDEX=YES is
  defined in the DBD of the index database, the area data set
  does not have to be processed in the same job step.
