Change Default values for DFHAID Copybook

We need the defaults changed in the DFHAID copybook to be compatible with GIT/DBB. The special characters are not round tripping from GIT to z/OS for DBB builds.

In z/OS it displays as this "double bar"
02 DFHCLRP PIC X VALUE IS '¦'.
In GIT this is what it looks like
02 DFHCLRP PIC X VALUE IS '�'.
We need it be this in z/OS to handle the round tripping
02 DFHCLRP PIC X VALUE IS X'6A'.

And
In z/OS it displays as this "cent sign"
02 DFHPF22 PIC X VALUE IS '¢'.
In GIT this is what it looks like
02 DFHPF22 PIC X VALUE IS '�'.
We need it be this in z/OS to handle the round tripping
02 DFHPF22 PIC X VALUE IS X'4A'.
