  ****************************************************************
  When viewing or editing a WSL, restart markers are added to
  show the user where ADBTEP2 checkpoints take place in a WSL.
  These restart markers are NOT put into the generated batch
  jobs for WSL.
  

Problem conclusion

• After applying this fix, batch jobs generated from WSL will
  now show restart markers to aid the user in restarting a WSL.
  Here is an example from of a WSL generated to JCL:
  
  //SYSIN    DD DATA,DLM='@@'
  ADMIN COPY TEMPLATE copytemplate_name
    DSN
  &US..&DB..&SN..COPY1
  ;
  -- Created by userid timestamp
  -- Generated by apply exec by userid timestamp
  --#RESTART 1                        <-------- now appears
  -STA DB(dbname) SPACE(tsname)  ACCESS(RO);
  --#RESTART 2                        <-------- now appears
