Error description

• When a client accidentally specifies a non-existing file name
  (eg: xx) for the -qpdf2=pdfname=<filename> option,
  the compiler issues the following (E) message:
  1586-401 (E) File "xx" not found.
  
  and procedes with the generation of the final exe. This final
  exe will not be a PDF optimized binary.
  
  ===== COMPILE COMMAND:
  xlC_r -c test.cpp -q64 -qipa
  xlC_r -o a.out test.o -qipa -qpdf2=pdfname=xx -q64
  
  
  ===== TESTCASE:
  $cat test.cpp
  int main(){
  int i;
  return 0;
  }
  $
  
  ===== ACTUAL OUTPUT:
  $xlC_r -c test.cpp -q64 -qipa
  $xlC_r -o a.out test.o -qipa -qpdf2=pdfname=xx -q64
  1586-401 (E) File "xx" not found.
  $
  $ ls
  a.out         test.cpp            test.o
  $ echo $?
  0
  $
  
  ===== EXPECTED OUTPUT:
  $xlC_r -c test.cpp -q64 -qipa
  $xlC_r -o a.out test.o -qipa -qpdf2=pdfname=xx -q64
  1586-401 (S) File "xx" not found.
  $
  $ ls
  test.cpp            test.o
