  ****************************************************************
  Since IMS High Performance Load accepts negative number
  in SEARCH keyword, IMS HALDB Toolkit should also accept
  negative number in RELOAD.SEARCH keyword.
  This APAR also fixes the problem that the SEARCH algorithm that
  IMS High Performance Load uses under HTK by default does not
  match the default of the HP Load.
