Make CEETBCK statement_id parameter optional for performance reasons

In order to populate the statement_id parameter, CEETBCK needs to invoke the debug infrastructure, which can present considerable overhead if CEETBCK is frequently used ie. in non-error contexts.

Passing a null pointer (OMITTED in the case of COBOL) for the statement_id could be used as an indicator that the statement_id is not to be derived.

    We had issues with some Jobs, running hours than minutes (also on CPUTime), as it raises on every call to a submodule, an (internal) application error (and at last, ignores it). The (internal) error is managed by our error-handling, which called CEETBCK.

    As we changed from COBOL V4 to COBOL V6, we activated NOTEST(DWARF) to get more information on CEEDUMP. But just found out, CEETBCK needs alot more CPU.

    We don't need statement_id, so we would be very happy, if this idea is released.

    Thank you.

    Would be helpful. The older CEETRCB is only there for compatibility reasons. CEETBCK is the recommended method, but at the moment with more overhead.
