DSC display storage group name via a volume display command

We converted from CA PDSMAN to IBM Dataset Commander. PDSMAN had a function where you could list a volume and see the storage group it resided in along with other information. This functionality is not available in DSC. We can see the storage group via the SMS panels but have those panels locked down for systems programmers access only. Operators need to be able to see the storage group where a specific volume resides. The storage group can be displayed via the D SMS,VOLUME(SMSXYZ) console command but we'd like a much simpler, quick and easy way to see the storage group via a volume display. There are several ways to display a volume in DSC but none contain the storage group name. Could this be added to the current displays?
