Enhance the message "table XXXX not found" during running load Utility.

We actually want DB2 load utilities to display consistent error messages that are easy to find. It should definitely be an ‘E’rror, not a ‘W’arning or ‘I’nformational message’, but it should also contains something like ‘UNSCCESSFUL’, or ‘ERROR’,

something that is easy to search for.

It should also be displayed at the end of the output. Right now, they display ‘DSNU012I 170

23:01:31.12 DSNUGBAC - UTILITY EXECUTION TERMINATED, HIGHEST RETURN CODE=8’, it would be helpful

if they also display actual errors.

By now, when we encounter the "UTILITY EXECUTION TERMINATED, HIGHEST RETURN CODE=8", we need find "E " / "W "/"ERROR"/....to try locate the actual error. Before we know the message "DSNU056I", we look the output line by line in thousands rows with eye. So it is a big pain for our DBA team.

We load many tables in one segment tablespace.... Output is over 1.1 MILLION lines...... 90% is DSNU650I messages but they get a RC8 and are trying to search the entire output as to where the problem is.
