  an error processing the ICMD call.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added a new runtime option for /CCFMOD processing. If the
  /MOD COMMIT fails for any IMS in the group (other then the
  first), CCF can now reverse the online change for any
  systems where the /MOD COMMIT was already successful.
  
  Care MUST be used when using this option. The customer
  should understand all of the implications of restoring
  old ACBLIB members before using this option.
  
  Added a new runtime option where CCF can add the NOFEOV
  parameter to all /DBD and /DBR commands.
  
  Added a prescan process for database commands. When using
  the Remote STC to issue commands, if database commands do
  not complete in the alloted timeframe and Command Retry
  is going to take place, CCF will now scan the Database
  Control Blocks to see if the resource is in the proper
  state. If so, CCF will not need to re-issue the command.
  This should cut down access to the Recon Datasets.
