a request to get linked porgram name when static scan load module

customer wants to use IA to analysis the link(EXEC CICS LINK) between CICS programs. They want to use static scan to scan load modules to get this information. They know sometimes, the linked program name is decided at runtime. But some times, the program name is stored in constant variable, or constant string. They wants IA to get this fixed program name from load module and list it in static scan report.

    This is not something that has been requested by any other customers so we are not able to address it at this time.
