getting data when creating a new dynamic report

Having new boolean variable, similar to TM1REBUILDOPTION, but for getting data when creating a new dynamic report, even if Excel calculation option is set to "Manual".

For example :

TM1FIRSTGETDATA=1 would get data when creating a new dynamic report, even if calculation option is set to "manual" in Excel

TM1FIRSTGETDATA=0 would not get data when creating a new dynamic report (unless calculation option is set to Automatic in Excel).

    This would be useful on big reports. With TM1FIRSTGETDATA=1 : this would allow keeping calculation mode to "Manual" and avoiding to recalculate the whole workbook each time a new view/report is inserted, whereas we still can get a first glance on the data in the new view/report we have just created.
    I brief, with TM1FIRSTGETDATA=1 :

    -the newly added dynamic report shows data rather than #VALUE!

    -the rest of the workbook is not refreshed, which saves time.
