  Forward Fit APAR of FPB V1R2 PK23870.
  FPB Randomizer interface module FABDRMI0 returns incorrect area
  number X'00FF' when area number 359 (X'0167') is expected to be
  returned. It appears FABDRMI0 doesn't take care of GT 240 areas
  in IMS V8.
  

Problem conclusion

• FABDRMI0 was introduced by the APAR PQ97705 to support multiple
  DEDBs worked as DBT V2 function.
  As this processing routine doesn't take care of GT240 areas
  introduced in IMS V8, an area number to return to caller is
  copied from DMACRAID field. This field contains X'00FF' always
  if area number is greater than 240.
  
  FABCRMIZ has been modified to copy the area number from DMACARID
  field instead of DMACRAID field, when DMACRAID field contains
  X'00FF' value, that is, actual area number of the area is
  greater than 240.
  
  Note: As FBAARMIF/FABBRMAF/FABCRMIF/FABDRMIF already take care
  of GT240 areas, the problem doesn't apply to these IMS DEDB
  randomizing module interface modules.
