Ensure ICH408I message is issued for a data set RENAME when RACF denies authorisation.

If a RENAME macro is issued, for example by IEHPROGM, and the current user does not have sufficient access to the target data set, no ICH408I message is issued. Instead I received the following,
IGD17061I INSUFFICIENT SECURITY AUTHORIZATION FOR  492
DATA SET ADCD.TEST.DATA
ON VOLUME USER05 HISTORIC RETURN CODE IS 8
DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS 04100800
IEC614I RENAME FAILED - RC 008, DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS (04100800),  493
RENAME,USER05,ADCD.TEST.DATA
It took several of us quite a while to find out that this was a RACF access authorisation failure, as (presumably) the RACROUTE REQUEST=AUTH had the MSGSUPP=YES flag on. I found that the RACROUTE had been issued, by using zSecure Access Monitor.

In contrast if I tried to delete the data set with IEHPROGM using a SCRATCH statement the ICH408I message IS produced.

Please change the macro so that we see the ICH408I message?
