[feature] job name will always be XMLSERVICE

Line 1496 in 20800d6

arg1 = %trim(mydir) + %trim(mypgm) + x'00';

Because dir+pgm will always expand to /libname.LIB/XMLSERVICE.PGM, and SPAWN_SETJOBNAMEARGV_NP gets set, this will always make a job of the name XMLSERVICE when spawning. A user asks if this could be customizeable. My guess is to set argv0 to whatever, but still pass what is currently argv0 as the first parameter to spawn.

Those were defined in src\plugconf.rpgle.in

     D PLUGSPNPGM      c                   const('XMLSERVICE.PGM')
     D PLUGSPNDIR      c                   const('/QSYS.LIB/@LIBRARY@.LIB/')

Change to what you want and rebuild.

Personally, I think XMLSERVICE is too oriented around compile-time customization. This may have made sense long ago before IBM started shipping it. Since we did start shipping it, we've encouraged users to use that version of XMLSERVICE (all the toolkits default to this version and the Node.js doesn't even let you change it IIRC). This means that options which are compile-time only may as well not even be there.
