  This CICS APAR provides support for new policy task rule
  Container Storage to track the storage used by containers
  of a task and take action when exceeding a defined threshold.
  
  If your CICS region experiences transaction using a lot of
  containers and channels or using large containers and
  causing DFHPG0400 message be issued, you may want to be
  alerted before this situation happens using this new container
  storage rule.
