  ****************************************************************
  IMS HP Image Copy supports more than 2048 DEDB areas in the
  image copy function of FABJMAIN program. The Image Copy function
  executed by FABJMAIN program supports DEDB area data sets and DB
  data sets exceeding 2048.
  
  The maximum number of ICEIN control statements that you can
  specify in one job step for the Image Copy function is still
  2048. If you plan to process more than 2048 data sets in the
  step, you should:
  - Specify DBD keywords without the AREA keyword or DDN keyword
  - For DEDB, use wildcard option or range option of AREA keyword
  For this support, the "AREA NUMBER" field value in the Data Set
  Statistics report for a DEDB changes to four digits.
  
  This APAR also fixes followings:
  - Issue NOTIFY.IC command correctly when FASTIC=(opt,COPY),
    NOTIFYMODE=COND and DEDBPC=Y are specified in ICEIN DD, and
    IMS HP Image Copy creates primary image copy data set only
  
    The NOTIFY.IC command is not performed because the internal
    control flag is not set properly. It has been fixed by
    properly managing the internal control flag to allow the
    NOTIFY.IC command to execute.
  
  - Avoid ABEND S0C4 ( ABEND0C4 ) caused by Instruction Execution
    Protection of OS macro
  
    The default value of the EXECUTABLE option of the STORAGE
    macro has been changed to NO from YES. IMS HP Image Copy uses
    the STORAGE macro without the EXECUTABLE option, which
    contains a potential issue that can cause ABEND S0C4.
    Therefore, the program has been modified to explicitly specify
    EXECUTABLE=YES for STORAGE within the program.
