DSFS create command to allocate new z/OS dataset

The use of the dsfs createparm or extattr to define a prototype for new datasets is not intuitive. Suggest creating a dsfs makeds command to allocate a new ps or pds using appropriate attributes on the command. There would be no need for prototypes that could cause confusion to the users who forgets they are there.


Samples: 

dsfadm makeds type=ps recfm=fb lrecl=80 blksize=0
dsfadm makeds type=pds recfm=fb lrecl=80 blksize=0 dir=25
dsfadm makeds type=pds recfm=fb lrecl=80 blksize=0 gen=25

    Reassigning this idea to zFS, since DSFS is a sub-component under zFS.
