Allow job Group handling in IDz (not only single jobs but groups of jobs)

Job Handlind in JES currently allows single job handling only, no job groups.
Would be helpful to also use job groups like in TSO/ispf.


Current situation:

In IDz "Remote Systems -> JES" cancelling a job group fails.


Doing the same in TSO/ispf it works.



It seems IDz is not generating the full command e.g. groupname is missing.



See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=section-c-group-cancel-job-group




Details: Cancel a job group in IDz


error msg: Command failed
