Support for 8GB OSAM HALDB partitions in IMS V13 without OLR Support

Wellpoint converted from BMC's PDF to IBM's HALDB solution. However, HALDB does not allow for greater than 4GB partitions. As a result, the number of partitions and the number of datasets has doubled after the conversion. Which has resulted in increased virtual storage. Also, due to growth, many of our partitions are reaching the 4 GB limit and we are constantly having to split partitions. So we need 8GB support for HALDBs. We don't use OLR and are ok if OLR support will not be there.
