Add a facility to alow User show how many Transactions have been processed by a SQ Member

Customer reported that in a Shared Queues environment the /DIS Command Outout does not allow him to verify which IMS in the IMSPlex has processed the Transactions.
Customer SP's which are implementing new IMS Shared Queues Environments to process some of the Central Bank operations faced the fact that in a SQ Environment in fact there is no a direct, easy and online way to know which IMS Member of the Plex processed the input messages for a specific Transaction, and how many.
Some of the persons involved in the implementation, having no or limited knowledge of the legacy non-SQ IMS Environment, supposed the ENQCT counter showed by the /DIS TRAN Command would show how many message was processed by the IMS replying to the Command.
It indeed appears that a way to online verify how many Transactions have been processed by a single IMS Member of a IMSPlex was something that could have been somehow "missed" when SQ were initially introduced....
We suppose that by i.e. introducing a new specific field in SMB that would keep track of the number of Transactions processed by the specific IMS Member, and that could be displayed either via a new keyword of the /DIS TRAN Command or only through the new QUERY TRAN Type 2 Command, could be an option.
