I'm aghast!  You mean IBM has (finally) started keeping timestamps on
(some) files but to see them a customer must sign an NDS and pay for
the privilege (or use NFS)?  What century does IBM think this is, anyway!?

Are you allowed even to tell me it's secret?  I suppose that explains the
conspicuous silence here of IBM employees.  I wonder whether the
meager information will be removed from future editions of the NFS
description.  And from the APARs.

I believe not.  As an experiment, I created a couple PDS members with
IEBGENER, no ISPF involved.  NFS shows timestamps consistent with
those in the job log and differing by 0.1995 seconds which I assume is
job step overhead.  ISPF member list shows no stats whatever for those
members.  Would LMMSTATS in a program show me any different?
If you believe so, I'll try an experiment, but I'm skeptical.
