COMMENT OPTIONS(/C/-Q/-A/-I/-D); OPTIONS(/L/E);
COMMENT sqhelp will list on SYSOUT the file given in helpfile.
If no dot ('.') in the string - ".HLP" will be assumed.
First sqhelp will try to find the file in the user's area.
If failed then in order at - HLP:  DOC:  and finally the SYS: areas.
sqhelp will return FALSE if all attempts failed.
