This is an either/or message of the sort I despise. The code and
text should distinguish between two cases with distinct code and text:
o DATA SET GAYLEYC.ISPTABL NOT IN CATALOG
o CATALOG CAN NOT BE ACCESSED
In either case the message should identify the catalog. If it's MASTER,
that's a big step toward problem determination.
z/OS is far less storage-constrained than when such catch-all messages
were invented. It's past time to fix them.
