SDF Re-Sev/Re-Color of Existing Captured Message

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When using SDF as a monitoring platform, it would be beneficial to mark a captured message as "acknowledged" by changing the color of it on the screen without deleting it entirely, so that it can be followed up on or reports made later. At this time, the only way to do this is to use AOCUPDT or AOFCPMSG to delete and re-issue the message as a different severity, losing the original timestamp of the message. 

We propose the addition of a way to change the severity or coloring of a captured message without re-issuing the message, in order to keep the original timestamp and other data that may not be propagated in the existing methods.

We also propose the addition of an "acknowledged" severity, or a way to change the coloring of an individual message in SDF and INGMSGS without changing the severity, so that "acknowledged" messages aren't confused with messages that have not been acknowledged. Either way, the re-colored message should then float to the bottom of the SDF messages panel so that it does not appear above unusual/important/critical messages. Our suggested formatting for an "acknowledged" message is green and underlined, so that it's not confused with a normal severity message.
