Adding function to DSC batch utility

For DSC, COMPID=5698A8100 FMID=HIQ810, we need a new functionality.
We are in a process to replace CA tool PDSMAN, which has a program that merges members of a PDS library into a sequential data set (function that is already on DSC), but it includes a one line header for each memeber.
We need DSC includes a header with the name of the member.
