  From panel VPCPMST0 Stop, Start, Resume, Pause and Pause
  Consistent commands can incorrectly be disallowed or allowed if
  more than one GM session is defined.
  
  Error message on the panel can be for example:
  Not done, Session is in RUNNING status
  
  If more than one GM session is defined, the wrong variable is
  used to check session status before command execution resulting
  in that the last session name displayed on the VPCMQST0 panel
  is used to check session status for also the preceeding
  sessions.
  

Problem conclusion

• The VPCMQST0 panel code is updated to use the correct variable
  name to query they correct GM session for status before
  evaluation if a command should be allowed or disallowed.
