Return Codes 0001-0004 Should Be Excluded From Display and 'JCLERROR' Messages Should Be Displayed

Removing RC 0001 to 0004 from displaying on report list will make it easier to comb through more serious exceptions. Currently, JCLERRORs are not displayed. It's important so that it can be filtered through that message alone. Instead of each aben...

Options to Filter Reports Depending on Return Code and/or Permanent Status
