  This APAR enables the FPA to specify FILSZ parameter value to
  DFSORT control statement.
  A new option SORTOPT_FILSZ is provided. When SORTOPT_FILSZ=AUTO
  is specified, the FPA estimates the number of records to be
  sorted and specifies the estimated FILSZ parameter value to
  DFSORT control statement as follows:
   - OPTIONS FILSZ=Ennnnnnnnnn
     nnnnnnnnnn indicates the estimated number of records.
  When SORTOPT_FILSZ=AUTO is specified, it may increase the job
  region size used by FPA or by Stand-alone DB Sensor.
  
  Following functions support SORTOPT_FILSZ option.
   - FPA Analyze
   - FPA Unload
   - FPA Reload
   - FPA Change
   - FPA Reorg
   - FPA Extract
   - FPA Tune
   - FP Stand-alone DB Sensor
  
  This enhancements are being implemented as a result of RFE
  requirements 76495.
  
  This APAR adds MSGDDN value, which is specified in the DFSORT
  control statement as message ddname, to HFPA0027W, HFPA3401E,
  HFPO3401E, and HFPT3308E messages. For the Change function, this
  APAR changes HFPT3308E message not to issue its subtext.
