Remove the REPORTCOMPLETIONS option from the IEAOPTxx member

Description

As of z/OS V1R13, support for the REPORTCOMPLETIONS=YES|NO option in the IEAOPTxx parmlib member is removed. This option was introduced with APAR OA34801 on November 24, 2010, and removed with APAR OA35428 on July 7, 2011. The setting REPORTCOMPLETIONS=YES was intended to provide a system-wide option for installations with a single large production environment, where all regions were exempted from being managed towards response time goals and you wanted to obtain response time statistics with different granularity through service and report classes. In all other cases, the usage of this option was not recommended.

The REPORTCOMPLETIONS=YES option was superseded by the "Manage Region Using Goal Of Both" option on the classification rule that allows to manage CICS Terminal Owning Regions (TORs) in a granular manner.
