Unique GDPS/A-A SDF Alert Deleted Message ID

For messages that result in GDPS/A-A raising an SDF alert in NetView (GEO1108E for example), when GDPS/A-A deletes the SDF alert It doesn't have a separate message ID to say "SDF ALERT HAS BEEN DELETED", it reuses the original alert's message ID. This means:
1. Message IDs have 2 completely different meanings
2. Message IDs ending in E for events that are not errors
This only seems to apply to GDPS/A-A, other GDPS products use the GEO000I Clearing SDF message.
This requirement is for GDPS/A-A to use a unique message ID (not ending in "E") when it deletes an SDF alert.
The PMR number referenced above is for another customer who had the same issue with this.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it won't be pursued within our planning cycle.
