Infosphere Classic CDC - needs to handle IMS exits better

Currently, the Infosphere Classic CDC comes with 2 IMS exits:
DFSFLGX0
DFSPPUE0
These datasets need to be in the IMS Steplib concatenation to be accessed, and are using the default names.

Now that IMS V13 and IMS V14 can specify any module name for an exit, it would make compatibility with other provides of these exits so they can all run together, to provide them with a unique name.

My suggestion would be to rename DFSPPUE0 to be CECPPUE0 as an alias of DFSPPUE0, and then to implement it into IMS using the DFSDFxx parameter statement:
EXITDEF= ( EXITS= (CECPPUE0) TYPE=PPUE )

As DFSFLGX0 is only used for a batch environment, it must remain as it is, but the installation instructions should indicate that if the entire SCACLOAD is put into the IMS Concatenation, it must be after any other library providing DFSFLGX0.
