Additional SDSF reason codes to the client

I was trying to access the SDSF APF panel while the system was under
heavy IO stress. Retrieving the data for the panel failed with:

ISF452E SDSFAUX communications failed, return code 0x00000004, reason
code 0x0036080F, function "query APF". Internal error

Looking up this RC/RSN, I see that it is a WARNING because of a TIMEOUT.

xxxx080F
Timeout
A request did not complete with the timeout interval.
Some requests may be delayed if they require I/O to complete or if the
system is busy. You can increase the timeout interval with the SET
TIMEOUT command.

Instead of an "internal error," I would have suspected to see something
related to a timeout printed. "Internal error" indicated more of a failure than a timeout.

Could more reason codes for the client be added to put out more immediately useful short messages?

Thanks!
