Add Telnet Host Name to EXEC CICS INQUIRE TERMINAL

When a TN3270 terminal connects to CICS, VTAM supplies information to CICS detailing the client system which is reported in various messages from terminal control for example:

DFHZC6908 I 07/23/2021 06:35:53 CII2GT Autoinstall in progress for netname TCPSI70. TN3270 IP address is 9.180.92.11 55856.
DFHZC5966 I 07/23/2021 06:35:53 CII2GT INSTALL started for TERMINAL ( SI70) (Module name: DFHBSTZ).
DFHZC6935 I 07/23/2021 06:35:53 CII2GT Autoinstall for terminal SI70 with netname TCPSI70 using model or template DFHLU2 successful.
DFHZC3461 I 07/23/2021 06:35:53 CII2GT SI70 CSNE Node TCPSI70 session started. ((2) Module name: DFHZOPX)
NQNAME SI70,CSNE, 6:35:53,USIBMT6 TCPSI70
TNADDR SI70,CSNE, 6:35:53,9.180.92.11 55856

Depending on the configuration of Communications Server and Name Servers this may also include the host name.

DFHZC6908 I 07/23/2021 11:24:10 IYKV2V02 Autoinstall in progress for netname IYCQTC63. TN3270 IP address is 9.180.92.11 53570 CLIFTONA.HURSLEY.UK.IBM.COM.
DFHZC5966 I 07/23/2021 11:24:10 IYKV2V02 INSTALL started for TERMINAL ( TC63) (Module name: DFHBSTZ).
DFHZC6935 I 07/23/2021 11:24:10 IYKV2V02 Autoinstall for terminal TC63 with netname IYCQTC63 using model or template DFHLU2 successful.
DFHZC3461 I 07/23/2021 11:24:10 IYKV2V02 TC63 CSNE Node IYCQTC63 session started. ((2) Module name: DFHZOPX)
NQNAME TC63,CSNE,11:24:10,GBIBMIYA IYCQTC63
TNADDR TC63,CSNE,11:24:10,9.180.92.11 53570 CLIFTONA.HURSLEY.UK.IBM.COM

The host ip address and port are made available to applications through the EXEC CICS INQUIRE TERMINAL / NETNAME commands as options TNADDR and TNPORT this should be extended to also supply the host name, supplying the host name, when available, would make identifying individual terminals and terminals from particular domains easier.
