zOS PT - Support for a 6 character APPLID prefix

Currently, zOSPT only supports a 5 character prefix followed by * in SNA application range definition within Network Configuration Assistant.

To work around this we changed the CICS workflow provided by zOSPT to use the software service instance name (which supports 6 character prefix followed by 2 character dynamically generated suffix to provide uniqueness).

It would be simpler if 6 character APPLIDs were allowed in the SNA application range definition within Network Configuration Assistant.
