RDz - Search should return access violation instead of 0 results when access to PDS is not allowed

We would like to see that the RDz Search results in a message when the user does not have access to the resources where the search is executed against.
In the current situation the search results in 0 hits. This gives the impression that the search was executed and no results were found, but it should tell the user that the search was not executed because the user does not have access.
RDz should display the same behaviour as is displayed in ISPF when a search is done on a PDS where the user does not have access.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. Your request is currently inline with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
