XML parsing functions to keep trace name of calling application program

The ZDECB display often shows ECBs executing in programs CXAP and CB2B for XML parsing which is a major consumer of CPU cycles on our system.
This RFE is to use the PNAMC feature in CXAP and CB2B to preserve the calling application name in the trace name field CE3TRNAME, so when ZDECB displays a PGM in CXAP or CB2B the TRC field will show the name of the program that issued the original xml function.

Example:ZL0B issues tpf_xml_parseDocument

ZDECB OLD ALL should display:
ECB ADDR SSU IS PGM TRC MIN SC ORIGIN I H
27C1B000 SN 9 CB2B00 ZL0B 0 BD4FFF 1

Rather than the current display:
ECB ADDR SSU IS PGM TRC MIN SC ORIGIN I H
27C1B000 SN 9 CB2B00 CB2B 0 BD4FFF

Merci
