Additional consideration is that the dataset must be created on an EAV DASD volume in order to include a time-portion.
Additional data-fields included in FORMAT-9 DSCB as of z/OS V1R11 are CREATE JOBNAME, STEPNAME (but not PROC-STEP info). Sadly, I remember that a DFHSM-recalled dataset loses these true JOBNAME, changing to the DFHSM started-task name - but I haven't checked this behavior in several releases.
