Add version/release number to folders in uss as in mvs when installing products

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When idz ee and its different component like zexpl, zee, dbb and so on  are installed on the mainframe then version/release numbers are created in mvs like V3R3M0, V16R0M0, V2R0M0 but there are no version/release-numbers in uss.

If we would install the products in the default folders on uss then previous releases/versions would be replaced and makes a mess since it is then impossible to test a new version/release in paralllell with an existing one.

To get around this we have had to make our own folders in uss like idznext to be able to at least have two version, one that we use and one for testing.  

We should not have to this, version/release-numbers should automatically be created in uss for the different products as it does in mvs.

    Thank you for submitting an idea with IDz, we appreciate your input and suggestions to improve our client experiences. Many of our added enhancements come directly from suggestions from our users like yourself. We?ve spent some time evaluating this idea and have concluded that it is not something that we can provide a solution for in the next two years.
