Add option to customize default jobcard in IDICNF00

In Fault Analyzer, Jobcard for Reanalysis batch option is customizable using ISPF Menu
- Option
- Batch Reanalysis Option.
- Jobcard Style : S or P
We have two way to parameter this default jobcard :

- Using S and fill a complete jobcard :
General Options:
Options line for batch
reanalysis. . . . . . . . :,
Redisplay this panel
before each reanalysis. . :,N,(Y/N)
Display panel to edit
generated JCL . . . . . . :,N,(Y/N)
Job card style. . . . . . :,S,(P=Parameters, S=Statements)

Job Card Statements:
,===>
,===>
,===>
,===>
Or Using P, and Jobcard is generated using default suffix :
Job Card Parameters:
Job name suffix . . . . . :,A,(A-Z, 0-9, à, £, or $)
Job class . . . . . . . . :,A,(A-Z or 0-9)
Job notify. . . . . . . . :,Y,(Y/N)
Job time minutes. . . . . :,10,(0-99)
Message class . . . . . . :,X,(A-Z or 0-9)
Region megabytes. . . . . :,0 ,(0-2047)
Accounting info . . . . . :,

These default doesn't match our site requirements (Accounting info is for example mandatory), so if a user has not customized is job card, analyse have a JCL Error

We'd like to have the possibility of changing these default option in the IDICNF00 member.
Default option we'd like to change are those in the Jobcard parameter ( style Panel (P) ), or the possibility to have an entire default jobcard coded with parameters (such as &sysuid ...)
