Allow GDGORDER to LIFO and FIFO with Relative GEN Reference

With z/OS V2.1 I can now specify GDGORDER=LIFO or GDGORDER=FIFO. Only that is for the base of the GDG. I would like to be able to specify
//DD1 DD DISP=SHR,GDGORDER=FIFO,DSN=GDG(0)
Then the GDG order would apply to the earliest entry instead of the most current entry.

And if possible, I would like to see that work with any Relative numbers
//DD1 DD DISP=SHR,GDGORDER=FIFO,DSN=GDG(-1)
//DD1 DD DISP=SHR,GDGORDER=FIFO,DSN=GDG(-6)

//DD1 DD DISP=SHR,GDGORDER=LIFO,DSN=GDG(-3)

This way I would not need to write a routine to read the GDG base and find the GDGs I need to work on. The relative number +FIFO or +LIFO will do what I need.

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