Enhance Printer Output filter

When looking for a joblog of a job within 5250 emulation the immediate reflex is to enter the command followed by the job name. 
If a list is displayed you might not pick the right job if you are not sure about the job number. 
The way it works now is when hitting enter or F12 that you do return to the command line.
In order to  look for the correct job you have to use F9 to retrieve the WRKJOB or DSPJOB command and need to execute it again. 
To my knowledge this has been always the case, it is just how it works. 

My idea is to modify the ACS Printer Output filter functionality. 
Currently the filter Job Information section only allows you to enter a name, without the user and number if the job name is unique. 
If you enter a job name which is not unique a popup with MSGGEN001 - The function did not complete successfully. (CPF0906 A duplicate named xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxx was found.)

My idea is to allow the filter to accept a job name which is not unique ans present a list of all those jobs.
