Enhance Resolver DISPLAY Command

On the current system, there is no mechanism to confirm the set of Resolver options in use for an application. Enhance the MODIFY RESOLVER,DISPLAY command to provide an option to report these value, preferably including the files or data sets used to define these.

    There is the ability to temporarily turn on System Resolver CTRACE for a specific job (in this case TN3270), which would capture the options being used by the job whenever it issues a resolver call.

    I would like to add a comment if I may. There are quite a few TCPIP.DATA parameters e.g. RESOLVERUDPRETRIES that are not displayed when you issue F RESOLVER,DISPLAY. It would be helpful if we could see all of them.
