3.Whether statistics for the member are to be returned to the dialog invoking the service.
If you specify NO, no statistics are returned. If you specify YES and the data ID represents a data set that has unformatted records (RECFM=U),
the statistics are returned in these dialog variables:
a.ZLC4DATE :Creation date in 4-character year format;
b.ZLCDATE :Creation date
c.ZLCNORC :current number of records
d.ZLINORC :begining number of records
e.ZLMOD :modification level
f.ZLMSEC :second value of last change time
g.ZLMTIME :Last change time;
h.ZLUSER :user id used to do change
i.ZLVERS :version number
