SQL/PA COMPARE - add Statement matching option 2 - match like "1", but also compare the SQL statement text

This should be added as it exists in the TEST function. I believe this is more important in COMPARE than in TEST. TEST is taking a package from the catalog and just rebinding it. I don't see how any queryno should change value. But when COMPARE is...

Add capability to run TEST with APREUSE(WARN) added to the REBIND

ANLPJCL - When line is blank, exiting and coming back into the product, + is generated on the JCL jobcard

When the jobcard line is blank, SQL/PA should store //*. The product is populating the blank line with + when the product is exited and then entered again. This would prevent JCL errors because + is generated in the first character on the jobcard.

Capture cost and path information for New SQL to help DBAs determine if there might be an access problem

There is a new release of application code. Currently SQL/PA does a COMPARE of current and previous access paths. There is a hole for NEW SQL that takes a bad access path. DBAs need to know if this is occurring.
