Enhancement to provide easier identification of each Data Set Copy functions result in the associated DSC cards.

File Manager displays a message where the error occurred, but it does not indicate a bad return code associated with the result or flag it in any way in the output. There are numerous “FMNBE” messages that are ‘normal conclusion' result messages for a process or step but only the one, in this case, that caused the bad CC for this process (FMNBE325 The specified pattern or name produced no matching members). It makes the trouble identification and resolution extremely difficult and would require a complete review of the entire document to decipher where the process actually went bad. As comparison, File Aid displays the CC of each step or process at its conclusion which allows the user to quickly locate the bad process.
