Provide Creation Time in ISPF 3.2 for data sets created with EATTR=OPT

Hello, in support of the new Format 9 DSCBs created for data sets defined with EATTR=OPT (or VSAM) on an EAV, ISPF 3.2 displays the creating jobname and creating stepname for the requested data set. But, there's a third information contained in F9 DSCB and that's the creation time (field DS9TIME), but this information isn't displayed in ISPF, neither in 3.2 (Data Set Utility) nor in 3.4 (Data Set List Utility).
I think it would be useful to get this information, because if you have to do further analysis on creation of a data set, you'll get earlier results if the creation time is available, i.e. if you have to analyze SMF records for this purpose.
I was surprised to see that in z/OS 2.1 there's a change for the LISTDSI command, providing the three new informations in variables SYSCREATEJOB, SYSCREATESTEP and SYSCREATETIME, but in ISPF still the creation time wasn't displayed.

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into product plan.
