  ****************************************************************
  Diagnostic tool TSO ADBEDIAG uses a temporary dataset to
  hold diagnostic information (Report) which makes it
  cumbersome and/or less user friendly to send the Report
  upon IBM request.  Using a cataloged dataset 'userid.
  ADBEDIAG.REPORT' help facilitate and makes it easier for
  customers to send the diagnostic report.
  
  Note:
  If TSO PROFILE PREFIX() is used to establish a PREFIX, then
  the diagnostic report dataset will use the standard ISPF naming
  convention for the high-level qualifier like the following:
  
  'prefix.userid.ADBEDIAG.REPORT'
