Support more than 32 Store Procedures per PAS

Creating External SQL Stored Procedures that reference a Subprocedure in a *SRVPGM have a 32 Procedure maximum per *SRVPGM. Remove this 32 Procedure limit so unlimited (or at least 32766) Procedures may reference the same *SRVPGM object.


Use Case:

We have a *SRVPGM with several utility routines in it. We are building SQL Functions and Stored Procedures to directly access those utilities. Recently we attempted to create what was the 33rd Stored Procedure to revenue this *SRVPGM program. The create failed with Too many procedures referencing the PAS (Program Associated Space) of that *SRVPGM. The limit is currently 32 (apparently).
