Update the resolver to identify MQ for batch programs

Dbb was updated to identify MQ programs during source scanning. It works great until it runs against out batch MQ programs where are using CSQB* modules such as CSQBCONN. The scanner does not detect these as MQ and as a result the program is determined to not have MQ in it. We would like the scanner updated to identify these types of programs

    With the latest release of DBB v3.0.2 on May 16, we have now added this capability.

    The zBuilder now has "${IS_MQ} A flag that indicates that the program contains MQ calls"

    Not sure who put this one in but our company has desire for this feature. We've had to implement our own solution where we have to tag the program as MQ. Would be nice to have as part of the base product.

    Thank you for opening the IDEA. Apologies for the delay in responding back to this as I have only recently taken over the role of the DBB Product Manager. As I was going through all the DBB IDEAs in our portal, I came across this one which was marked as a "defect" but without any explanation.

    My first ask here is, considering how long it has been - is this something you still desire?
