************************************************************ ****
Using DIAGNOSE X'84' to alter minidisk extents (RMDISK
operation) on an EAV volume with cylinder extent definitions
crossing the or being greater than the 65k cylinder boundary
will fail with RC=124 or RC=125.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Parameter validation during DIAGNOSE x'84' processing will
consider Extended Address Volume (EAV) cylinder specification
limits.
