Issue/Introduction

The VM release validation module requires updates to identify MONITOR
data generated by VM systems running z/VM Version 7 Release 4.

Without an update to recognize z/VM 7.4, if 7.4 data is encountered by
the DAY080 or INCR080 step, the step fails with a U0998 ABEND and the
following message is written to the DAY080 MICSLOG:

  VMC00305E UNRECOGNIZED VM SYSTEM LEVEL:  PRODUCT
            BIT MAP = 7FFFFFFFC0000000.

SYMPTOMS:
DAY080 or INCR080 fails with U0998 ABEND, and the DAY080 step MICSLOG
contains the VMC00305E error message.

IMPACT:
DAY080 or INCR080 fails with a U0998 ABEND.

CIRCUMVENTION:
None.
