Enhance GETSYSWORD Function

A recent Enterprise Pli PTF enabled a function GETSYSWORD that returns the jcl stepname / Jobname

I´d like to see further enhancements in this area.

    This has been delivered via library PTFs and applies to all releases, but only the 5.2 LRM will be updated as part of the latest continuous delivery (V5R2M2)

    This would be helpful and also requires no compiler change, just a library change

    Programmer name might also be a useful addition, the code I have in REXX for it reads like:

    tcb = ptr(540, 4) /* PSATOLD in PSA */
    tiot = ptr(tcb + 12, 4) /* TCBTIO in TCB */
    jscb = ptr(tcb + 180, 4) /* TCBJSCB in TCB */
    jct = swareq(stg(jscb + 260, 4)) /* JSCBJCTA in JSCB */
    act = ptr(jct + 40, 3) /* JCTACTAD in JCT */

    programmer = stg(act + 24, 20)
