No errors report for schedules with a status of SEVERED

When a scheduled backup gets a "session severed" error (brecause of a comms failure/client OS problem/client reboots/loss of power at client site) the schedule is updated with a status of severed.
No backup failure messages are generated on the TSM server so the failure is not visible to admins.
A session severed warning message is logged but if (for example) the client reboots the backup may restart and complete normally. So monitoring for this message does not provide a solution.

The proposed solution is that if at the end of the backup window (start time + duration) the status of the schedule is severed then an ANR2579E (backup failed) error should be generated. (optional if schedule status should be updated)
