Enable DFHXCURM exit to dynamically set XCFGROUP

We are going to have the change the XCFGROUP for all of our CICS regions. We would like to NOT have to add a loadlib to all of the application batch jobs to point to the correct DFHXCOPT module.

We would like to change XCFGROUP via the user replaceable module DFHXCURM, so that by interrogating the EXEC CICS LINK command and using the APPLID that is trying to be linked to, we can determine the correct XCFGROUP and change it. In our case, for example, we know that if the APPLID on the LINK command starts with 'A' that the XCFGROUP is DFHIR0AP - and if it is 'G' the XCFGROUP is DFHIR0GR.
