  * CATMAINT utility terminated with                             *

  ****************************************************************
  Return code of a CATMAINT utility module was checked and
  propagated all the way out but there was no logic to generate
  diagnostic messages to the job output if the return code
  indicated a failure.
  
  This APAR was opened in response to a PMR which reported an
  DSNT500I message with reason code 00C200EF and resource name
  <high-level-qualifier>.DSNDBC.DSNDB01.DBD01.I0001.A001 .
  The error happened because the user did not provide a SMS
  data class that is defined with extended addressability
  attribute.
  

Problem conclusion

• Code logic has been added to CATMAINT utility to check for
  resource-not-available situations (such as the DSNT500I
  message) to generate a DSNU590I message in the job
  output and, for other errors, generate the following DSNU777I
  message:
  
     "DSNU777I - DSNUECMI CATMAINT UTILITY STATUS - UNKNOWN ERROR
     FROM DSNUECMJ"
  
  If you see this DSNU777I message, please contact IBM service
  representatives for assistance.
