Add a customer configurable variable to Enhanced 3270 User Interface - Top Consumers Workspace (KM5TOPC) to allow more than '10' top consumers per category.

In a large environment, there may be cases where the customer needs to see more than just the Top '10' Consumers of a particular category.  When the Top Consumer list is presented, the first 10 in the list may be vital processes that are working as expected.  The customer may need to see the top 20-30 consumers in the list before an anomaly can be identified.  It would be better to make the top 'number' of consumers be a 'user customizable' value per category.In a large environment, there may be cases where the customer needs to see more than just the Top '10' Consumers of a particular category.  When the Top Consumer list is presented, the first 10 in the list may be vital processes that are working as expected.  The customer may need to see the top 20-30 consumers in the list before an anomaly can be identified.  It would be better to make the top 'number' of consumers be a 'user customizable' value per category.
