  ****************************************************************
  By this APAR, users can specify how IMS Administration Tool
  handles non-zero return codes returned by the COBOL or PL/I
  compiler during copybook import in IMS resource change
  (database and application administration function) and import
  objects (IMS catalog and directory management function).
  This option allows users to configure the following behaviors:
    - Whether to stop processing immediately when a non-zero
      return code is returned.
    - Whether to complete DBDGEN for all remaining DBDs before
      stopping.
    - Whether to treat return codes of 4 or 8 as errors.
