Ability to have more than 6 PSB datasets

File Manager for IMS needs to support having 50+ datasets in the PSB lib concatenation, instead of the single digit limitation it currently has.

    The fix for APAR PI59455 enhances FM/IMS batch functions to provide an alternate way of specifying the PSB and DBD libraries that the function is to use.
    The new way is to specify the name of the DD to which the required PSB or DBD libraries have been allocated.
    This allows the user to specify as many libraries as can be concatenated.
    So the requirement has been satisfied for batch functions. Still can only specify 6 DBD and DBD libraries for Edit and Browse.
    Please let me know if this enhancement has satisfied the customer's requirement.
