TSF (Total Storage Facility) from Estorian will provide that function. On the other hand if you merely want to track the life of a dataset, DAF from the CBT tape is a good option.

Of course, if you want date/time stamps the other option (not my favorite) is to bury it in the DSN if you need real-time like information. If you can wait for the SMF data, you can pull from there. HLQ.Ttime.Ddate.etc.... Or create a meta database in your app that when you create a dataset, you log it. But NON Vsam does not have a lot of bells and whistles without a lot of exits and work.

I think the SMF records for non vsam is the only way to know time. The time/date the SMF record was created should be close to the time/date the dataset was created/touched. I think for VSAM it is in the LISTC entry. I am not at work so I cannot validate this statement.

For conventional "MVS" datasets, LISTCAT ... CREATION(n) gives me all datasets with a creation date of "n" days ago. Is there any way -- not apparently with LISTCAT, but *any* way -- to get a list of conventional datasets with a creation of "n" *hours* ago? Does MVS keep the time of creation, or only the date? (Or, given a conventional dataset name, to determine its creation time?)
