Problem conclusion

• 1. IMS x'6706' KM improved to handle both ATRM abend record and
     DMHR error record types.
  
  2. Updates are required to some Knowledge Modules as a result of
     IMS service up to PUT1911, also improvements to formatting
     for readability.
  
  3. When an update to the IMS Systems and Groups repository is
     made the TSO user id associated with the change is stored as
     user data in the PDS directory. This change stores a full 8
     character TSO user id, only 7 characters was saved
     previously.
