generated SYSLIN SPACE value TRK,(3,3) can be too small

When Object Deck Dataset is not set in the property group, RDz will generate a JCL with a SYSLIN SPACE value of TRK,(3,3)

For example with assembler:
//ASM.SYSLIN DD DSN=&&OBX0000,
// UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=(MOD,PASS),SPACE=(TRK,(3,3)),

or with C:

//C.SYSLIN DD DSN=&&OBX0000,
// UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=(MOD,PASS),SPACE=(TRK,(3,3)),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80)

Prior to 7.6, the generated JCL for assembler was TRK,(3,10) because of APAR PK75327

It will be much better to be able to configure this SPACE value for each language in the preferences or project properties.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. This request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and for this reason, we will not be implementing it. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
