Add a new DISPLAY for CLASS

Currently, one of our customers is using the IMS command /STO CLASS CLASS# to stop the transaction execution in one of the IMSs in the PLEX environment. However, there is only one command to investigate the CLASS situation /DIS STATUS CLASS, and it does not supply good information, it shows only the transaction in STOPPED status.

Jorge and I were looking for any other way to display specific CLASS, or a positive answer like ACTIVE as you can see below:

The idea is to enhance the command output to provide more meaningful information such as

IEE600I REPLY TO 24 IS;/DISPLAY CLASS ALL

DFS000I CLASS ENQCT QCT STATUS

DFS000I 001 12354 0 ACTIVE IMS1

DFS000I 002 00000 0 STOPPED IMS1

DFS000I 003 54862 0 ACTIVE IMS1

DFS000I 004 01245 0 ACTIVE IMS1

Other option could be /DIS CLASS 1 2 3 to show only those CLASS, and /DIS CLASS FROM 1 TO 7 to show a range of classes.
