Requesting that FLATCOPY not shutdown due to individual flat file error

We believe that, in order for the product to be operationally functional, the handling of individual errors within flat files must be changed to not result in the termination of the FLATCOPY process. Today, when FLATCOPY terminates due to a problem with an individual flat file versus a problem with the IDS, it stops and the action is always for someone possessing the needed authority to rename the offending flatfile and issue the F BKMSTSKA,STARTFC command. Since this, to date, has always been the action required, it stands to reason that the product itself should be improved to rename the dataset using the authority possessed by the BKMSTSKA started task, issue an alert, and allow FLATCOPY to remain active.
