Permit the use of % (Generical) in CP_BUSINESS_APPL Lookup table columns

It is not possible the use of % in CP_BUSINESS_APPL Lookup table columns.

This is causing an error in the update of CP_CPU_WKLDA_T table, once the column "BUSINESS_APPL" in CP_CPU_WKLD_T table is updated by the code:

W_BUS = VALUE(LOOKUP BUSINESS_APPL IN &PREFIX.CP_BUSINESS_APPL
WHERE SMF72SID = MVS_SYSTEM_ID AND -- @04C
R723MWNM = WORKLOAD AND -- @04C
R723MCNM = SERVICE_CLASS AND -- @04C
SC_PER = SERV_CLASS_PERIOD, -- @04C
' '), "

So, when R723MWNM is null/empty, the table CP_CPU_WKLDA_T is not loaded because "BUSINESS_APPL" column is empty in CP_CPU_WKLD_T table.

The correct codification should permit the use of % in CP_BUSINESS_APPL lookup table, so we could set "BUSINESS_APPL" column in CP_CPU_WKLD_T as "UNKNOWN".

Also, currently, we need duplicate the entries for 2 Service_Class_Period. It is a nightmare to configure this lookup table without the possibility to use %.

So, the expectation is to to set CP_BUSINESS_APPL as the following:

MVS_SYSTEM_ID | WORKLOAD | SERVICE_CLASS | SERVICE_CLASS_PERIOD | BUSINESSAPPL
% | % | % | % | UNKNOWN

    We are considering this RFE. It has been looked at in the past and there are concerns on performance impact. We will reach out when this will be investigated in more detail.
