Allow the ability to set the management, storage, and data classes the SPUFI panels.

We have a security policy requiring us to encrypt all possible

'Data at Rest'. We use the IBM solution called Pervasive

Encryption (PE). Our storage team has defined SMS Data

Classes that can be used to allocate encrypted datasets. In order

to use and create an encrypted dataset, we need to specify one

of these data classes in JCL or in any process creating a dataset.

SPUFI can be used to select sensitive data and place the output in

a dataset that is not encrypted. There is no place to specify a data

class to automatically create the data set as encrypted.

In SPUFI (panel id DSNESP01), option 5 (Change Defaults) displays

panel DSNESP02 allowing us to specify output dataset characteristics.


Also, add the ability to specify the default for these classes in SPUFI.
