Programmatically disable SysReq key

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

The exit program has a few advantages.  One is that it can, as you
suggest, preclude access by *ALLOBJ users.  In addition it can provide
conditional access to the function based on application logic in the
exit; and of course do a variety of application oriented tasks as part
of the system request key handling (though this is going beyond the
requested "disable SysReq key").

And I apologize for not pointing out the need to select Work Management
Exit Programs at the bottom of the Work Management APIs.  I knew where
the exit was documented (by category) but didn't step through the
selections to actually confirm all of the steps...).
