+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+- module_util/data_set.py - DataSet.data_set_cataloged function previously only returned True or False, but failed to account for exceptions which occurred during the LISTCAT. The fix now raises an MVSCmdExecError if the return code from LISTCAT is too high. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1535).
+- zos_copy - a regression in version 1.4.0 made the module stop automatically computing member names when copying a single file into a PDS/E. Fix now lets a user copy a single file into a PDS/E without adding a member in the dest option. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1570).
+- zos_copy - module would use opercmd to check if a non existent destination data set is locked. Fix now only checks if the destination is already present. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1623).
+- zos_job_submit - Was not propagating any error types UnicodeDecodeError, JSONDecodeError, TypeError, KeyError when encountered, now the error message shares the type error. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1560).
+- zos_mvs_raw - DD_output first character from each line was missing. Change now includes the first character of each line. (https://github.com/ansible-collections/ibm_zos_core/pull/1543).
