Help for complex utilities

For complex utilities (I primarily mean REORG here but copy and runstats are getting there!) an addition to the OPTIONS with a new keyword SHOW or EXPLAIN or HELP. This would change the utility to be PREVIEW in all cases! And it will just output the syntax of the utility with each keyword explaining what it does, what its default is and what its primary purpose is PERFORMANCE, PARALLEL, SECURITY etc. This would help people who do not have the time or in the inclination to read docu that might not even be available through a corporate firewall. The defaults are important as we all know that defaults are not, by default, the right option to use!

    Dear Roy, Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. Development has future plans to improve the general utility output to better display the default/in-use keyword/zParm options for the executing utility at runtime.
