  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: This APAR enables Stand-alone FF DB     *
  *                      Sensor to support TOSIWAIT keyword,     *
  *                      which sets the timeout value for TOSI   *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the maintenance for this APAR.         *
  ****************************************************************
  This APAR enables Stand-alone FF DB Sensor to support TOSIWAIT
  keyword, which sets the timeout value for IMS Tools Online
  System Interface (TOSI) response when the TOSIXCFGRP keyword is
  specified. Controlling the timeout value helps prevent timeout
  errors when responses take longer to return.
  
  Also, this APAR fixes the following problems:
  - FF DB Sensor might generate incorrect data element values of
    online database VSAM data sets processed after TOSI response
    timeout errors occur.
  - ABEND0C4 occurs in the BBESSPIF module when both
    SENSOR_DBINFO=NO and TOSIXCFGRP=XCF_group_name are
    specified in stand-alone FF DB Sensor jobs.
