IMS Web Service Tools: Add "BLOCKS" option to CEE3DMP_OTPIONS in XML converter

Today if an xml converter writes a CEE dump to ICON job log there are no information about static and automatic PLI variables included in the deump.

Today the generated variable CEE3DMP_OPTIONS in a XML converter looks as follows:
dcl CEE3DMP_OPTIONS char(255) init('E3D9C1C3C540E5C1D940C3D6D5C440C7C5D
5D640D5D6C6C9D3C540E2E3D6D9'x);


The BLOCKS option should be enabled by changing the options to:
dcl CEE3DMP_OPTIONS char(255) init('E3D9C1C3C540E5C1D940C3D6D5C440C7C5D
5D640D5D6C6C9D3C540E2E3D6D940C2D3D6C3D2E2'x);
