Add a filter for the AltClientID to the QUERY IMSCON TYPE(CLIENT) command

If you have hundreds or thousands clients connected to IMS Connect at the same time and if you are also using synchronous callout, having a filter on the AltClientID with the QUERY IMSCON TYPE(CLIENT) command could be very helpful when you have an issue with the synchronous callouts on a specific TPIPE and need to determine the clients listening on this TPIPE in order to further analyze the problem. This could be also helpful for operational purposes when you need to perform an automated action on resume TPIPE listeners and therefore have to find out the names of these clients.
