IBM iSeries Client Access - Needs Workstation ID option in string

IBM iSeries Client Access Software.

Launching application using
C:\Users\Public\IBM\ClientSolutions\Start_Programs\Windows_i386-32\ACSLAUNCH_WIN-32.EXE -xMX1024M /Plugin=5250 /System=COR400 /name=%clientname%

There is no option to add/adjust WORKSTATION ID


Use Case:

WE use Terminal Services. Each user requires a unique WORKSTATION ID. We use the %clientname% value.
Need an /option for WORKSTATION ID value.

    We already support a workstation id parameter (/wsid=<identifier>).  Unfortunately, it is not currently referenced in our GettingStarted documentation.  Here is a copy of the updated documentation:

    /PLUGIN=5250 /SYSTEM=<system> [/<options>]

    This plugin starts a 5250 emulator to the specified system.
    This function is equivalent to 5250 Emulator from the main GUI.

    Valid options are:
        /id=<A-Z>	                       - short session id
        /name=<name>                 - session name
        /wsid=<identifier>	       - workstation id
        /wide=<1|0|true|false>        - use a wide screen size (27x132)
        /fullscreen<1|0|true|false>  - use the entire screen
        /nosave=<1|0|true|false>    - do not save settings on exit
        /prompt=<1|0|true|false>    - force the configuration dialog to appear
        /port=<port>                       - port number
        /ssl=<1|0|true|false>           - connect using secure sockets
        /sso=<1|0|true|false>          - bypass signon screen
        /kerberos                             - Use kerberos
        /width=<width>                   - initial width of the emulator window
        /height=<height>                - initial height of the emulator window
        /xpos=<xpos>                    - initial x-coordinate position of the top-left corner of the emulator window
        /ypos=<ypos>                    - initial y-coordinate position of the top-left corner of the emulator window
        /watermark                         - display system name as watermark on screen
        /watermark=<text>            - display provided text as watermark on screen
