How to add a LOGTYPE to PCF

    a. Make sure a GDG exists
    b. Create the first log file as a generation of the GDG.
    c. PCF does not work if there are no logs of the right type in the
       DRLSYS.PCF table, so use job PCFLOG to establish the first.
    d. Edit ACDATA.EPDM.CARDLIB, member name PlogtypeCOL (in our
       example PAIXCOL).
    e. Add a line for the new source of input
       %PCFREG logtype sysid subtype
       Example: %PCFREG AIX PYTHON CONF
       NB: Put this line BEFORE the %PCFCOL line
   f. Make the new subtype acceptable to the PCFREG exec
      Edit PCFREG in ACTESTS.EPDM.EXEC; add a row where the comment says
   g. In future, all new generations of this log will get registered and
      therefore collected every time they are created.
