Not quite true. If there is no MDISK defined to include the omitted high
cylinders, the results will be perfectly good and usable. ABEND would be
a hostile act in this case. At worst, DDR should end with a low return
code and a message saying that n cylinders were not copied due to the
discrepancy.
