  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * Apply corrective PTF when available.                         *
  ****************************************************************
  The PTF for PI80310 enables zIIP offload of some of the data
  conversion processing during the RELOAD phase of the LOAD
  utility when the PARALLEL keyword is specified with SHRLEVEL
  NONE or SHRLEVEL REFERENCE.  If one or more zIIPs are installed,
  this will reduce CPU time during that phase.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code has been changed to support zIIP offload of some data
  conversion processing during the RELOAD phase of the LOAD
  utility when the PARALLEL keyword is specified with SHRLEVEL
  NONE or SHRLEVEL REFERENCE.
