Add support for Free Format parameter declaration

[patrickhrastnik]

Hi!

In IBM/nodejs-itoolkit#75 I suggested to add support for free format parameter syntax ("char(10)" instead of "10A").
@ThePrez suggested to open an issue here.

This may be something related to #24 - but as far as I've seen, #24 is more about changing this packages' source to total free syntax.

Agreed with what @kadler said in itoolkit#75. Current xmlservice is more than a low level component that is fledged with lots of features. Not sure how many of them are still used.

Anyway supporting new format 'type' can be done in

xmlservice/src/plugile.rpgle

Line 2408 in e9cfced

P bigValType B export

This procedure might have a if leg ahead to serve the new format to have below vars set up correctly ...

xmlservice/src/plugile.rpgle

Lines 2412 to 2414 in e9cfced

	D myAttr 1A
	D myDigits 10i 0
	D myFrac 10i 0

I don't think it makes much sense to invest in the format of the underlying transport format. How many users use XMLSERVICE directly vs using a toolkit which hides all this from the user?

Agree with @kadler again :-)
FWIW from customer issues, majorities are still in fixed format or mixed format. I will hold this and consider free format in future if this is really necessary.
