Identify the jobnames of the batch requests via EXCI.

Customer would like to identify the jobnames of the batch requests via EXCI.
He suggested to put this information in the PHAPPLID (APPLID from previous hop data) field and additionaly in the DFHSN1500 message.
Customer has pointed that there is a WUI field "EXCI client identifier" from EXCI Resource Table
that already provides this information in-flight.
With this information in the SMF110 records (PHAPPLID field) would be possible to build historical reports (via CICSPA, e.g.) and map the main jobnames that issue EXCI requests to the CICS regions.

    This requirement specifically concerned EXCI requests from non CICS regions calling CICS. You do not use EXCI from CICS regions.

    For CICS to CICS communications the PHAPPLID field in the origin data already reports the APPLID of the calling CICS region. This requirement addresses the case of non CICS client using EXCI to call CICS. In this case the PHAPPLID field contains the jobname of the non CICS client.
