  MAINTAIN/CONVERT function to support yyddd format in the image
  copy dsn.
  In addition, the following problem have been fixed in this APAR:
  - When ICTRLR parameter is not specified, image copy data sets
    are created with Dddmmyy.Thhmmss format(ICTRLR(4)) instead of
    Dyymmdd.Thhmmss format(ICTRLR(2); default value).
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The new option of ICTRLR parameter for MAINTAIN/CONVERT function
  has been added.
  The problem of not specifying ICTRLR parameter has been
  modified.
