  This APAR provides the fix for following two problems:
  - HPIC CIC function fails with DFS2815A message and RC=08, if
    the access method of the index DB is KSDS.
  - HPIC IC function fails with DSP0110I message and RC=08, if
    the VIC option is specified and SYSPRINT DD is not defined in
    run JCL.
  

Problem conclusion

• The module FABJUIC1 has been modified to select the DD for the
  DBRC messages depending on the existence of the DD.
  The order of selecting DD is following:
    1. ICEDLST DD
    2. SYSPRINT DD
  If neither of ICEDLST nor SYSPRINT DD is defined in the HPIC JOB
  step, the HPIC dynamically allocates DUMMY data set for the DBRC
  process of the VIC process.
  
  The module FABJDPSN has been modified to continue the image copy
  process for the KSDS index DB of the CIC process.
  
  When VIC=Y is specified, a physical image copy data set is not
  created and the virtual image copy is registered into the DBRC
  as the User Image Copy by the NOTIFY.UIC command.
  When VIC=N (this is default) is specified, a physical image copy
  data set is created and information message FABJ0180I is issued.

  User's Guide: Document Number: SC18-7617-00  ( SC18761700 )
  should be changed as follows:
  ==============================================================
  
  Appendix A.  Return Codes, Abend Codes, and Messages
  MSG FABJ0180I added.
  
  | FABJ0180I INDEX DB IC MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER, BECAUSE OF
  | THE CIC PROCESS
  |
  | Explanation: HPIC creates a image copy data set for KSDS index
  | DB. But it may not be able to use recovery as input image copy
  | data set. If you use it, Index database can not recover
  | correctly.
  |
  | System Action: FABJDPSn continues processing.
  |
  | Programmer Response: None.
