ISPF: Return ZLPDSUDA on LMMFIND

This is a straight-up Request for Enhancement

Headline: Set ZLPDSUDA in ISPF LMMFIND & LMMLIST services

Description:

The ISPF LMMDISP, LMMFIND, and LMMLIST services each optionally return a member statistics,
setting around 28 different dialog variables. The STATS variables are the same for each service,
with one exception: variable ZLPDSUDA is only returned by LMMDISP.

ZLPDSUDA is the value of the PDS directory user data area. ZLPDSUDA sets it if the selected member
has a user data area that doesn’t conform to the format used by ISPF for ISPF member statistics.

It is too limiting that if an application needs the ZLPDSUDA value, the only way to get
it via ISPF services is to being doing a member list display. What if the application just
wants to find the member? Or if the application wants to generate a list of members, but not
with any user interaction in a panel display?

This request is for the LMMFIND and LMMLIST services to set ZLPDSUDA, in the same way as is
done by the LMMDISP service.
