Call Command Parameter Logging in Job Log

When reviewing a job log to investigate an issue, if the user is running a CL program that calls another program with parameters, the call command is logged and a comment is added " /* The CALL command contains parameters */". It would be very useful to display the values of those parameters if possible.


Use Case:

Many times we spend a lot of time researching an issue that ends up being an improperly formatted, incorrect, or missing parameter on a call command.

    While this could be a useful feature in some applications, it could also lead to security problems if confidential information is being passed on CALL statements. Maybe a CRTPGM option that enables/disables this as needed would negate this concern.
