Provide a user ID variable support for MVS Filter strings similar to JES

Currently, our shop sets up multiple filters prefixed by RACF user ID so they are specific to the datasets they create for their own personal dataset members. The filter string for JES is already support &USERID so if they copied a filter it doesn't need to be changed. However, for MVS filter strings each user would have to modify the filter string to match their own RACF ID and repeat that step for each filter that was copied. This is a cumbersome task and not a good design considering there is an inconsistency across JES and MVS..
