  ****************************************************************
  Function IQCABAT0 expects to find the end of DUMPQ checkpoint in
  order to create the timestamp for the CHECKPOINT control card.
  The program that reeads the logs and looks for end of check-
  point does not dynamically allocate all logs following the start
  of the checkpoint. The end of the checkpoint can not be found if
  the checkpoint spans several logs and the function ends with
  error message.
  

Problem conclusion

• Function IQCABAT0 has been fixed to obtain the checkpoint
  timestamp from the start of the checkpoint and to generate LOGIN
  DDs for all logs, following the start of the checkpoint.
