Pass job name in &JOBNAME system symbol for JES2 users

Currently, the &JOBNAME system symbol in z/OS does not contain the actual job name; it is either JES2 or JES2CIxx based on the JOBDEF INTERPRET value. It would be beneficial to have it be the job name, as it is described in the documentation.

We've recently upgraded to zOS 2.3, and JES2 now requires a large amount of ePVT storage. On z/OS V2.1, we must use 1200MB of ECSA for our IMS environment.Therefore, we want the JES2 ePVT space to be the same as V2.1 in order to upgrade to z / OS ...
