  ****************************************************************
  The MFS Compare Utility compares two sets of MFS source
  statements that are decoded from two different MFS control
  blocks. If a difference is found, the different MFS source
  statement is copied to the output buffer.
  
  When a MFS source statement with no parameters is copied to the
  output buffer, the data after the output buffer is overwritten
  with an incorrect value because the calculation of the length
  of MFS source statement has a problem.
  
  As the result, the page counter which is placed after the
  output buffer is overwritten with the incorrect value. When a
  page of the MFS COMPARE report breaks with the incorrect page
  counter, it causes ABENDS0C7.
  

Problem conclusion

• The module FABVCOMP is modified to use the correct length of
  the MFS statement which is printed in MFS COMPARE report.
