In IMS Administration Tool DBD/PSB Resource Change - DBDGEN with copybook import - ATY@OBJU does not have the function to report compiler messages and stop processing when the compiler returns RC=4.

When IMS Administration Tool DBD/PSB Resource Change - DBDGEN with copybook import -  is selected, IMS Administration Tool calls the copybook compiler and then calls DBDGEN/PSBGEN/ACBGEN/IMS catalog populate. When the compiler returns 08 or greater, IMS Administration Tool reports the compile error and stops processing. However, when  the compiler returns 04, such as when the redefining structure is longer than the original field, processing continues to DBDGEN which fails.  

We would like an option to fail after the COBOL compile ends with RC=04.
