BPXF038I is a misleading answer to command "F BPXOINIT,FILESYS=DISPLAY,EXCEPTION"

Hello,

The following command list exceptions with mounted files system:

F BPXOINIT,FILESYS=DISPLAY,EXCEPTION

The answer if there are *no* exceptions to report is:

BPXF038I NO FILE SYSTEMS FOUND.

This message is misleading and incorrect. There are mounted file
systems but non of them is having any problems. The message text
should be changed to be specific and clearly tell there is no
exception to report.

I expect messages to be as explanatory as possible, and this message
definitely is not. Something like

BPXF038I NO FILE SYSTEMS WITH EXCEPTIONS FOUND

I understand that this is a message that might be applying to
various "F BPXOINT,FILESYS=DISPLAY..." request.

So if not being as specific as to say exactly what type of request it
is a respose to, at least have it say that is is the response to a "F
BPXOINT,FILESYS=DISPLAY" command. E.g.

"BPXF038I NO FILE SYSTEMS FOUND THAT MATCHES THE F BPXOINIT,FILESYS=DISPLAY COMMAND"
