 Back-Out/Roll Back Plan:
 ------------------------
 In the event of a catastrophic failure, the Facility Area Manager may make  the decision to back-out the patch.
  
 It is imperative that you have performed a backup of the routines included  in this patch prior to installation.
  
 The back-out plan is to restore the routines from the backup created.
  
 While no data was modified by this patch installation, there were data  dictionary updates. These particular data dictionary updates, however,  will not be harmful to the system so no rollback is required.
  
 To verify the back-out completed successfully, ensure the checksum  matches the pre-patch checksum from the patch descriptions.
