Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• Two new functions have been provided to facilitate the mapping
  of SMF records using File Manager.
  SEGLEN('field_name') has been created to set the current segment
  length to a value found in a previous segment.
  SEGOFF('adjustment value') is now available to test the current
  offset into the record being processed.
  File Manager has been changed to interpret BL1, BL2, BL4, Bl8
  and XL1 XL2, XL4, XL8 assembler declarations as binary fields
  to be consistent with the usage of these declarations in the
  supplied SMF macros.
