Data Set File System (DSFS)

DSFS CreateParm should NOT require a previous allocation under secondary qualifiers

When using the dsadm createparm the -path requires that at least one dataset already be allocated under the provided hlq. Other than the 1st qualifier, that should not be required.

DSFS Fileinfo should report ALL models under HLQ

When using the dsadm fileinfo to query the file information, it should report on ALL pds/psmodels under the hlq.

Relax dsadm createparm restrictions

Currently dsadm createparm has restrictions which makes it difficult to use. The HLQ specified for createparm much match the userid that is issueing the createparm command. This makes it impossible to use for HLQ's which are not related to userids...

Enhance DSFS createparm to add completion message

Currently the createparm command on a successful create will terminate with no messages. Please add a message about the successful completion including the particulars of the creation.

Add DSFS DeleteParm to remove obsolete HLQ's

Since Delete is out of scope for the CreateParm then please create a DeleteParm, or something, that can be used to remove obsolete HLQ's defined via CreateParm.

dsfs ls -al should display file size for sequential files

When displaying a list of files using the ll -al command while in /dsfs/txt/hlq the files have a length of 0 or 1 (I'm sure why). This applies to both dsorg(ps) and members of a dsorg(po). The size is accurate once the file, or member, is displayed.
