DB2 Load/Reorg failure - unable to drain scenario - request to issue -DIS USE in addition to -DIS CLAIMERS

When a DB2 load or reorg utility fails due to being unable to perform a drain, only a DIS CLAIMERS is issued at the end of the retries to show the correlation id of what was preventing the drain. Our shop's DDF work is categorized under common correlation id's, so this doesn't provide much insight when the culprit is a distributed based thread. If a DIS USE could also be issued so that the thread's authid is additionally shown, this would greatly help (we know from experience that BMC Load+ and Reorg+ provides this functionality/insight and would think that much additional effort would not be needed for just another DISPLAY command). This would be something of great benefit in the failed load/reorg job's output when this unable to drain scenario occurs.
