Create new ICH4xxI FETCHING PROGRAM program-name, FROM LIBRARY message - Improve Messages for Controlled Environments

Enhance IRRENS00 to add an additional message to always ensure an ICH message is issued that contains the offending library name.

I was in contact with Bruce Wells about this requirement in October.

Bruce explains that his Contents Supervisor contact insists they rely on RACF to obtain the library name.

A possible enhancement could be for IRRENS00 to issue an additional message in this case; something to the effect of:

ICH4xxI FETCHING PROGRAM program-name, FROM {[LIBRARY dsname] | LPA | JPA |
IDENTIFY } WAS REJECTED BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENVIRONMENT TO BECOME UNCONTROLLED.

So the sequence would look like:

CSV042I REQUESTED MODULE DBINRPR NOT ACCESSED. THE MODULE IS NOT
PROGRAM CONTROLLED
ICH422I THE ENVIRONMENT CANNOT BECOME UNCONTROLLED.
ICH4xxI FETCHING PROGRAM program-name, FROM {[LIBRARY dsname] | LPA | JPA |
IDENTIFY } WAS REJECTED BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENVIRONMENT TO BECOME UNCONTROLLED.
BPXP014I ENVIRONMENT MUST REMAIN CONTROLLED FOR SERVER (BPX.SERVER)
PROCESSING.

    This item is a valid requirement but unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If this requirement is high value, please re-open it, or open a new requirement.
