NTH File usage in the TOM

One of the nice things in the Omegamon Classic monitor for DB2 is the information when the Near Term History files wrap. This indicates the frequency of their use and provides a basis to increase their size or the number of them.

This is something that the Tivoli Enhnanced 3270 monitor (the TOM) does not display, either in the JES output or in the monitor itself.
