DSFS: Automatic CCSID conversation for selected datasets/members

We'd love a enhancement in DSFS that it could do automatic conversation of datasets/members when they are used with DSFS.


For example:

dataset.name(member) -> Terminal emulator 1141 for Germany

/dsfs/txt/dataset.name/member --> automatically converted to 1047 as the default encoding for USS is 1047.


We've a concrete use case:

Currently, we keep all of our Python Scripts within datasets. Currently, if we run them, we use EDCICONV to copy them to a filesystem and converting them from 1141 to 1047 to be able to execute them. Afterwards we remove them from the filesystem to don't have old copies there.


With an automatic conversation in any way that overhead could be saved and it wouldn't be that error prone of duplicate/old Python programs.
