need JES spool to be opened with System z data editor instead of LPEX

Opening a large remote dataset or JES output can lead to out of memory error on the RDz client because LPEX editor will load the whole content into memory.
System z Data Editor has a paging mechanism which could solve the problem but currently it cannot be mapped to open a JES output.
