Support VTAM generic resources function to allow a balanced increase of concurrent users in e3270

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The theoretical maximum number of concurrent users on e3270ui is 99. However, depending on storage layout, and constraints, the actual maximum number is lower (around 50-70). This limit may occasionally be too low. In particular, in the test/development environment where a lot of people is, most of the time, connected to Omegamon.

The recommendation is to run multiple TOM tasks if we need to exceed those limits however this implies that each user is assigned to a given TOM instance so it is not possible to balance the load amongst different TOM instances. This implies also a manual maintenance of users IDs to be sure the limit for each TOM instance is not exceeded.

Support of the VTAM generic resources function seems to be a standard, common and good option in order to balance the load of different TOMs transparently from the user point of view.

    We have chosen to reject this RFE and apologise for any disappointment.
    To create conditions where a higher number of concurrent users can log onto the e3270UI would require significant rework and would be unlikely to be exploited by a large number of client. We have decide to prioritise resources elsewhere on improving the e3270UI.
    There is a valid workable solution already in place by starting additional e3270UI address spaces the cope with the number of concurrent users.
