Extend permitted subsitution strings in IDI.SIDISAM1(IDIGSVRJ)

As per the referenced PMR, the only permitted substitution string for the ISP_PROF_DSN parameter in the FAZ config file for the Problem Determination Tools Common Component is &USERID. (Ref. Chapter 32, IBM Fault Analyzer for z/OS - Users Guide and Reference - Version 12 Release 1 - SC19-3671-06)

This is not sufficient for sites where ISPPROF datasets have different naming standards.

    Fault Analyzer v13 PTF UI12445 now includes support for standard system variable substitutions in the ISPF_PROF_DSN parameter.

    We are now working on adding support for the additional substitution features such as extracting sub-strings from system variables. We will provide an update when this is available.
