DCLGEN and outputlibrary

When doing a DCLGEN in Data Studio using IDz you will reach a point where the output dataset
needs to be specified.
On that panel the field is locked and you have to use the "Browse" button to select a library.

It is way too slow than just typing in a datasetname. So please make the field "Output data set" open for typing and keep the "Browse" button as well.
