  ****************************************************************
  This APAR fixes the following problems when you run the IMS
  Database Repair Facility interactively and try to process an
  OSAM data set whose block size is different from the block size
  defined in the DBD for an HDAM or HIDAM database or the RECON
  data sets for a PHDAM or PHIDAM database:
  - After a root key of the HDAM or PHDAM database is specified
    on the Initial selection panel, MSGFABZ083S is wrongly issued.
  - After a block number of the HD database is specified on the
    Initial selection panel, the block is not correctly displayed
    on the Block data panel.
  - After the FSE chain or RAPs option is specified for the HDAM
    or HIDAM database on the Initial selection panel, the Free
    Space Element Chain panel or the RAP Pointers panel is not
    correctly displayed.
  
  Additionally, this APAR fixes the problem that MSGFABZ028E is
  wrongly issued under the following conditions:
  - IMS Database Repair Facility is run interactively for a PHDAM
    or PHIDAM database.
  - The active database data set is the M-side data set.
  - A root key of the HALDB is specified on the Initial selection
    panel.
