Allow clients to set default processing options for DFSMSdss operations using a parmlib member

DFSMSdss should be enhanced to allow clients to set default processing options for DFSMSdss operations using a parmlib member. For example, the ADMINISTRATOR could be one of the options to support the following use case described below.
.
BTW, quite a similar approach was already introduced by ICKDSF and DFSMS as follows.
- ICKDSF R17 APAR PI67283 & z/OS V2R1,V2R2 DFSMS APAR OA51084:
NEW FUNCTION - ENABLE NODSEXIST PARAMETER DEFAULT IN ICKDSF INIT COMMAND VIA DEVSUPxx PARMLIB MEMBER
- ICKDSF R17 APAR PI52935 & z/OS V1R13,V2R1,V2R2 DFSMS APAR OA49447/OA49448:
NEW FUNCTION - DISABLE VERIFYOFFLINE PARAMETER DEFAULT IN INIT AND REFORMAT COMMANDS VIA DEVSUPxx PARMLIB MEMBER
- z/OS V2R2 DFSMS IGGCATxx parmlib member:
GDGPURGE(YES|NO) specifies what the default for IDCAMS DEFINE GDG command should be when neither the PURGE nor the NOPURGE parameter is specified. (Default: NO)
GDGSCRATCH(YES|NO) specifies what the default for IDCAMS DEFINE GDG command should be when neither the SCRATCH nor the NOSCRATCH parameter is specified. (Default: NO)
.
I have contacted Robert Gensler in DFSMSdss Development and he suggested to open an RFE.

    DISABLing VERIFYOFFLINE is risky. we had a storage admin initializing sysres'es of production LPARs taking it down accidentally.

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