Allow CL/Supersesson to use fully qualifier VTAM APPL names

I would like to define VTAM applications on my Supersession menus to use the fully qualified name if needed if name conflicts can't be resolved.

    Here is an additional option to consider. If you want to direct the logins, in the APPLDEF, you can specify the real name in VTAM (for example, APPL1, APPL2, etc) and VTAM will skip going to
    CF/WLM and go directly to the target.

    This is not an enhancement that fits with the development plans for CL/SuperSession. The recommendation to achieve what is requested in this enhancement is the following:
    Define APPLDEFs to point to a GR application name. When a session is requested, VTAM will ask CF/WLM if the target is a GR, and if so, then upon the
    recommendation of CF/WLM (which target is the healthiest) VTAM will then send the logon request to that target using the NQN. We do not recommend directing logons based on fully qualified network names (NQNs).
