Povide a fix for ZWS V9.5 to issue error message when an LTP occurrence is not created due to incorrect use of SHIFT function

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The SHIFT function related problem occurred during a testing by client. In summary, an LTP occurrence was not created because the client used SHIFT function incorrectly.
(Please refer to case# TS003497942.)
However, ZWS V9.5 issued neither error nor warning message although the expected LTP occurrence was not created. Therefore, client noticed the trouble for the first time when a scheduling problem occurred. To avoid it, a new error message, notifying clients that the LTP occurrence was not created, is required. In other word, the error message should be issued as one of the error handling on SHIFT function with enhancing ZWS V9.5.

As the result of the discussion on TS003497942 by L2 and L3, they determined that SHIFT related documentation needs to be changed. (Please refer to APAR PH24090.)
I think the change is necessary but combination of the documentation change and the new error message is required to avoid the trouble in production.
