Allow CRUISE to reallocate TPFDF database primes using Capture / Restore procedure

To reduce pool chaining in a highly accessed TPFDF database we would like to reallocate the prime records from their 1K face type to a 4K face type.
The CRUISE RESTORE can only restore records to the original FARF addresses used by the CAPTURE process, this RFE requests that CRUISE be modified to restore based on a new physical location and record size as defined in the currently loaded dbdef.
The change should be relatively simple if CRUISE capture/restore uses the records ordinal number rather its FARF address. After Capturing the database the user loads a new dbdef before running the Restore process to write the records to the new FACE type.

    Based on customer feedback, priorities and resources, IBM does not expect to implement this in the foreseeable future.
