Copy services issues are reported under a generic problem code

In the support case, we have an issue with the copy services license key (missing the MGM license) which prevent the START SECONDARY after a planned hyperswap. However, the issue is only reported under a generic problem code which makes it difficult to diagnose the problem and additional ODD dump is needed to pin down the root cause. The different copy services issues should be reported under different problem code and available in NETLOG for easy problem diagnosis.

    This is our 3rd ranked problem. Different errors should have their own codes or at a minimum a sub-code to point to the exact error.

    High:
    Another kind of FFDC issue; the more unexperienced the future z/OS sysprogs will be the more it becomes desirable to provide error information that can readily, easily and properly be interpreted by the customer.
    A similar issue are BCPii Condition Codes as "generic problem codes". Why not printing their meaning into the netlog?
