ISPF Extended Stats when Member Record Count > 64K

With the ability to have PDSE members with more than 64K records the basic ISPF statistics fails. Extended ISPF Stats is an option that must be set site wide or by the individual user/member.

Requesting that when a member is saved with more than 64K records that extended statistics be automatically enabled.

    Since extended stats increases the size of the directory, the ISPF site admin should have control over this.
