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.

    The &SYSJOBNM symbol provides this function starting in z/OS 2.3. It can also be used to accomplish this function by specifying the following JCL:
    // EXPORT SYMLIST=(JOBNAME)   
    // SET JOBNAME=&SYSJOBNM
