Confusing IKJ56228I for EQAUOPTS in Debugger's EQAPROF

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In this shop we see thousands of repetitive messages like these in the EQAPROF joblog:

IKJ56228I DATA SET DYD.EQAU.xxxxxxxx.EQAUOPTS NOT IN CATALOG OR CATALOG CAN NOT BE ACCESSED
IKJ56247I FILE SYS00022 NOT UNALLOCATED, IS NOT ALLOCATED
JVMJZTK2999W RecordReader: Error freeing DD:SYS00022 - BPXWDYN failed; S99ERROR/S99INFO = 0x438/0x0 RC=70778880 (0x4380000)

Where 'xxxxxxxx' are the userIDs of the hundreds of develeopers we have.

We know that those messages are normal and not a problem as everything works fine. In fact, we already discussed this with Debugger developement a couple of years ago when we began implementing z/OS Debugger, and they indicated were not a problem.

However, mostly every time we suffer an issue for whatever the reason and we need to contact IBM z/OS Debugger support, the support team indicates that they see many of these errrors and we should look at them, and sometimes this is misleading as the investigation gets focus on that, while we know it is not the root cause of the problem as we always see them.

Could the design be improved to prevent those misleading messages?

Thank you much!!!
