AD - Program call graph for DL1 resource can be improved for certain ROLB scenario.

When IMS online program has the direct ROLB call without being accessing database segments, then AD call graph is shown as if program access multiple segments from the DBD. It looks to be little misleading from user aspect though the order of IMS-DB PCB'es are controlled by optional settings (NONE/CICSDBCTL or BMP or Batch depending on CMPAT parameter YES or NO) in build client. 

This issue was spotted in one of the live IDz/ADDI education to internal users.

Details:

Eg: Program PGM1 has direct ROLB call

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
