This addendum is for application programmers who want to ensure that TAL and pTAL
programs that call C-series procedures will continue to run correctly after the
destination control table (DCT) limit is extended from 32,767 to 65,375 entries at RVU
G06.23. (The DCT limit extension affects only C-series Guardian procedures.)
Readers must be familiar with TAL and pTAL.
