Include the dataset name in the IGW859I message text

The Itau bank and IBM has a project to activate the DFSMStvs product to run on the GRBE (Itaú OLTP application) to support the online workload.
So, it is very important to us to have an improvement for the message IGW859I, today this message doesn't have the dataset name included in his text.
Example of current message format:
"IGW859I JOB MI8FE03 UNIT OF RECOVERY D927A9EC7EAD615000094C4801030000 HAS REQUESTED 901 LOCKS"

Considering the example above, we want an improvement in the text to show the dataset name inside the message text.
This improvement will help us to monitor issues related to the applications.

    We are working on the design. The IGW859I msg is highlighted and does not scroll off. If we add the list of data sets with record locks there the message would quickly fill up the screen. We have decided to add the list of 5 data sets with the largest numbers of record locks still held to the existing IGW10074I msg that scrolls and is not highlighted. Depending on the complexity of the final implementation, the data set list may or may not be sorted by the number of locks. Are you OK with our putting the data set list in IGW10074I, and if the list is not sorted? Would you like 5 top data sets or 10? Please let us know. Thanks.

    .Since a TVS Unit of Recovery can involve many data sets, in a future release RLS will always list in IGW859I the top 5 data sets with the number of requested lock requests each data set has.

    Option 1 would be very helpful.

    This is doable. We are thinking of a couple of options on what to do to satisfy your requirement to include the data set names in the IGW859I message: (1) Since a TVS Unit of Recovery can involve many data sets, would it be acceptable to always list in IGW859I maybe the top 5 data sets with the number of requested lock requests each data set has? Or (2) have the application set up a policy (similar to the CFRM policy that defines how the system is to manage the coupling facility resources, or how CICS users' policies specifying how CICS will be used) to indicate whether to list the data set names in IGW859I, and whether to fail the TVS request when a threshold of the total number of lock requests issued against the Unit of Recovery has been reached. Option 1 would certainly be easier for TVS to provide, but let us know your preference or any other suggestions.
