    *** END IMS KEYWORDS ***
    The following change has been made to correct the reported
    problem:
    
    DBFMERE0:  Code modify to check if running z/OS 1.12 or higher,
               using the EIB block interface instead of MMPB block
               to set EIBSetDep.  Media Manager treats the request
               as dependant (DEP=YES).  No futher I/O request will
               be started.
               The EIB interface provided by DFSMS Media Manager
               apar OA41237.
