DFHWS2LS generation of more than 99 copybooks

The IBM documentation states:

"REQMEM=value
Specifies a 1- to 6-character prefix that DFHWS2LS uses to generate the names of the partitioned data set members [...] It generates the member name by appending a 2-digit number to the prefix".

This restricts DFHWS2LS to a maximum of 99 members. There should be an option to enforce a 2-digit suffix even in the case of 100 or more members:

Two optional parameter should be added to DFHWS2LS. The first new parameter should tell how many characters should built up the suffix, e.g. 2. And the second parameter should say which characters are allowed. For example numeric (10 - the numbers from 0-9) or alphabetic (26 - the English alphabet) or alphanumeric. With alphanumeric we have 36 characters. And if the suffix has a length of 2 we have 36**2 variations for the suffix.
