Ways needed to change single options of IEAOPT

We need a way to set single options out of the scope of IEAOPTxx member without overwriting all the other options.

There should either be a command "SETOPT option=value" that only changes the specified option.

Or "SET OPT=xx" should only change those options specified in the member, maybe through specifying an additional parameter in the command or in the member that indicates that all not explicitely specified options should stay at their respective values.

Or it should be possible to chain IEAOPT members in IEASYS and with the SET OPT command, like SET OPT=(01,02).
