  1. IMS Connect Extensions Knowledge Modules for ODBM DRDA
     commands returns the message "xxxx unknown Code Point,
     contact  IBM" for several code points.
  
  2. Extract to CSV does not include data for a field specified
     in the associated Form when the Field name is the same as
     the Segment name.
  
  3. Updates are required to some Knowledge Modules as a result
     of IMS service updates and to improve readability when
     browsing.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. CSV extract processing now correctly identifies the field
     type from the Form definition, and populates the field data,
     where the name of the requested Field duplicates the name of
     the Segment.
  
  2. Add support for the following Code Points:
       X'CC0A' Segment List - SEGMLIST Command object
       X'CC0B' Relative Retrieve Field - RTRVFLDREL Command object
       X'CC0C' Relative Field Entry - FLDENTRYREL Command object
  
  3. Updates are required to some Knowledge Modules as a result
     of IMS service up to PUT1612 and to improve readability when
     browsing.
  
  4. When Browsing records containing fields defined as Character
     (type=CHAR) display Blanks (C' ') when the field actually
     contains low values (X'00'). In ZOOM mode the actual field
     contents are still displayed as is.
