Enhance funtionality for RUNWQFEX command

Add all email distribution options that are available on the DB2WQ BI Portal as optional parameters. In addition to server, there are SSL, TLS, User and Password.


Use Case:

From the command line, I need to run a DB2WQ report and email it to a list of recipients. The recipients are not static and the email server requires TLS Authentication. I can work around DB2WQ's inadequacy by generating the report onto the ifs and then emailing it to the list of recipients.

    In Dec. 2018 for 2.2.1 PTF Group Level 5 we provided this enhancement:

    The Run Web Query Fex (RUNWQFEX) CL command allows you to specify the mail host server when running a report for *EMAIL output. The command now allows you to additionally specify credentials for the mail host server, using the optional Email Validation List (EMAILVLDL) parameter. A validation list object securely stores user authentication information. The validation list will be used when making the connection to the email server. You can create a validation list using the Create Web Query Password (CRTWQPWD) command.
