Enhance AUXTRSW SIT Parm to off ALL option (like AUXTRSW)

The Dump Dataset Switch SIT Parm currently only offers NO and NEXT as options for no switching or a single switch of the datasets. No further switches will occur without a subsequent CEMT/EXEC CICS SET DUMPDS SWITCH (such as via automation or system events). An ALL option should be provided to support continuous switching natively, such as already provided with the Aux Trace Dataset Switch SIT Parm (AUXTRSW).

    I think the RFE title should be "Enhance DUMPSW SIT PARM to offer ALL option (like AUXTRSW)"
