Add to OBJECT_STATISTICS a column to inform us if a library is an IBM library

A new column would be added to OBJECT_STATISTICS called something like IBM_OBJECT. A value of 'YES' or 'NO' would be used.

At present there does not appear to be an easy or definitive way of determining if a library belongs to IBM.

SELECT OBJNAME
FROM TABLE(QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS('*IBM','*LIB'))
ORDER BY OBJNAME ;

The above lists some of the IBM libraries, but not, for example, QSYS2 nor the SYS* libraries.

SELECT OBJNAME,OBJOWNER
FROM TABLE(QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS('*ALLUSR','*LIB'))
ORDER BY OBJNAME ;

QSYS2 & the SYS* libraries are considered user libraries & would appear in the results of the above.

I need to know this to ensure if I am doing something with libraries I can correctly identify what is IBM's & leave it alone.

    i would suggest an option *ALLUSR for libraries. this would mimic the library options that WRKOBJ/DSPOBJD has
