Convert zWS Exits to Parmlib

Due to the limited Assembler skills, it is becoming extremely difficult to maintain our multitude of zWS-related user exits.

It would be beneficial to have the option of paramertising all zWS exits to allow us to remove our dependency on the legacy Assembler code and simplify the management of the zWS environment. 

It could be implemented in a similar way to the SMFPRMxx (system management facilities) parameter configuration.

    We are considering enhancements in this area, would it be helpful to provide IZWS exits samples in metal C?
