Add functionality to report PDSE version 1 or 2 in DCOLLECT

PDSE v2 data sets were introduced in zOS v2.1. Yet I have no means to monitor and report existence of PDSE v2 data sets.

    This was opened 8 years ago. The main problem with implementation is that the PDSE must be OPENed in order to get the information. We are declining this requirement since it has been so long in coming. If there is still a need, please resubmit along with max member generations which may also be of interest.
