Copy Grouping Class Member should produce panel rather than command

When working with the detail display panel of a RACF Grouping Class resource profile, the line command 'C' for Copy behaves differently between copying an access list entry and copying a profile member definition.

Both access list entries and profile member definitions are repeat group structures within the RACF profile, and the C command should treat them consistently. In the case of an Access List entry, the C command produces a nice, easily interpreted panel that allows overtypeable fields to be used to generate the required RACF commands. Whereas in the case of C against a profile member definition you are taken immediately to the line command interface and have to edit a RACF command.

The C command against a profile member should display a similar panel to the one displayed for access list entries, where the profile member may be overtyped and then a command is generated.
