Request a message informing if LLA is not managing the current LNKLST set as an entity (or that that state has changed from managing to not managing) since it is managing as an entity that allows avoiding some I/O to the dataset.

This will indicate that LNKLST as a whole entity is not being managed by the Library LookAside (LLA)
This is when datasets are removed and added back to the LNKLST concatenation.
Current error messages for LNKLST did not indicate any problems with LNKLST after adding dsn's back into concatenation.

    .This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. Please note that there can be multiple LNKLST sets active at a time. Removing a data set that had been in a LNKLST set when defining and activating a new LNKLST set does not necessarily affect whether LLA is managing each LNKLST set as an entity. In many cases, it is only when you remove a data set from LLA management (which is rare to do) that LLA is not able to manage a LNKLST set as an entity.
