Error description

• BEFORE THIS APAR:
  When a valid RBA is specified in the END_RBA control card, GGC
  Image Copy may not reflect this specified end point.
  
  AFTER THIS APAR:
  On the GGC Utility Profile Panel, when End point "S for
  Specified" is used and a RBA value is specified in "Specified
  hex end point/Quiesce #" field (END_RBA value is specified in
  the control card for a GGC Image Copy) then the following action
  would be performed,
  If the RBA value specified on END_RBA is a valid RBA then GGC
  would use this RBA as an end point for the GGC Image Copy.
  If the RBA value specified is NOT a valid RBA then GGC would use
  the next higher valid RBA as an end point for the GGC Image
  Copy.
  If an invalid RBA (not pointing to the beginning of a DB2 LOG
  RECORD) were subsequently used, it would lead to an ABEND.  Code
  added by this APAR will validity check the user provided RBA.
