IMS Catalog add support to JDBC drivers to support sub fields in tooling access for FEDERATED/VIRTUALIZED access

The customer imports COBOL copybooks into IMS Enterprise Suite for Developers for use in SQL queries.

01 root-level
03 can-query1 char(1)
03 cannot-query,
05 cannot-query1 char(1)
05 cannot-query2 char(2)
03 can-query2 pic'999'.

As imported, the customer cannot use the JDBC drivers to query the field "03 cannot-query" because it has no length or data type. The customer also cannot query the "05 cannot-query1" and "05 cannot-query2" fields because they are not one level "below" the 01 level in the hierarchy. They are considered "STRUCTURED" fields and are not eligible.

The message returned by the query engine for the unsupported fields is "field does not exist".
