DBB JCLExec remove dependency to SDSF

When you want to use the JCLExec from a DBB groovy script you can only do this if you use SDSF.

We use EJES instead of SDSF and get transaction dumps.

    DBB v2.0.1 introduces the new JobExec command which replaces the JCLExec command. The JobExec command is functionally the same as JCLExec but does not rely on the System Display and Search Facility (SDSF) to function.

    NOTE: The JCLExec command is deprecated in DBB 2.0.1 and will be removed in a later release. Customers should update their build scripts to use the new JobExec command instead.

    For more details, see The JobExec command in the DBB Documentation site.
