MODDVIPA error code for zCX DVIPA should be improved

If I create a zCX Application-Specific DVIPA range and attempt to allocate a DVIPA with MODDVIPA then the error message I receive is

EZZ8314I DVIPA CREATE ioctl() failed for 10.137.90.97 ERRNO=EDC5121I Invalid argument. ERRNOJR=766C7303

If I use BPXMTEXT to decode the 766C7303 then I get

TCPIP JrDVIPANotInVIPARange: The Dynamic VIPA was not in any defined VIPARange.

Action: Ensure the correct IP address was selected, or configure the receiving TCP/IP with an appropriate VIPARange containing the desired Dynamic VIPA

This isn't quite telling the truth. The error code and message should be improved to state that zCX DVIPAs cannot be allocated via MODDVIPA.

As a corollary, how about you tweak MODDVIPA so that it CAN allocate a zCX DVIPA.

Thanks very much.
Jeff
