Extend message "OLDR3024W name – GROUP NAME groupname IN LOADSET lsname DOES NOT EXIST – TPF DEFAULT IS USED FOR GROUP ID" with the name of the file

I have a loadset with about 300 files and receive during the zoldr load the following warning message:

OLDR3024W 00.42.50 CLDZ - GROUP NAME tpfdfl IN LOADSET Z77167 DOES NOT EXIST -
                TPF DEFAULT IS USED FOR GROUP ID^

It's hard to check all the components and also checking the filesystem is difficult (files are only available via symbolic links).
Can this message be extended with the name of the file.
With the name of the file it will be much easier to find the incorrect group name in the loadset.

The same applies for the message
OLDR3023W name – OWNER NAME ownername IN LOADSET lsname DOES NOT EXIST – TPF DEFAULT IS USED FOR USER ID

    Hello Sue,

    Apologizes for the late response, the report does help, but in my case the report looks ok. 
    Further investigation shows that our process that does the offline OLDR (run's on z/OS) has a dataset that has an insufficient record length causing truncation of some of the cards. Since the last value in the card was the group name, this group name truncated.

    Adding the filename to the error message is now more a nice to have.

    Kind regards,
    Hans Marijnen

    The offline loader report provides this info:

    **********************************************************************
    ************************ SUMMARY REPORT ************************
    **********************************************************************

    Status of DEFINE Values:
    SYSID=BSS
    DEBUGFILES=YES

    LOADSETS SUCCESSFULLY PROCESSED:
    Loadset NEWEPT:
    Files
    /home/dfal/PJnnnnn/local_mod/base/tpf-fdes/tpf_rtmc_nvpc.ept.xml.g2
    will be loaded to location:
    /sys/tpf_pbfiles/tpf-fdes/tpf_rtmc_nvpc.ept.xml
    Access: 0775 User: dfal Group: users

    LOAD0020I Load step ended with return code 0.

    Can you use the offline loader report to scan for the loadset name, group name and user name to find the file name?
