Keep Netmap CREATED, UPDATED, USED AS xNODE fields

There are inconsistencies with the logic of the NETMAP entry fields, CREATED, UPDATED, and USED AS xNODEs, as they can lose true history of the netmap entries.

CREATED Date/Time stamp is lost on the netmap unload and load process and if $$REPLACE is used to modify existing entries.

1. Request to keep the original CREATED date/time stamps during DGADNTLD unload and load process. This will keep either the 1st time the fields were implemented or the true historical date the netmap entry was defined.

2. Request to change $$REPLACE to verify if the netmap entry exists before performing the delete and deleting CREATED, UPDATED, USED AS xNODE fields. if the netmap entry exists, leave all fields alone, except the UPDATED field.

UPDATED Date/Time stamp is lost on netmap unload and load process. Also, UPDATED has incorrect information if $$UPDATE is used when netmap entry does not exist because $$UPDATE will perform $$INSERT.

1. Request to keep the original CREATED date/time stamps during DGADNTLD unload and load process. This will keep either the 1st time the fields were implemented or the true historical date the netmap entry was defined.

2. Request to change $$UPDATE or $$REPLACE to verify if the netmap entry exists performing the request. If the netmap entry does not exist, the $$UPDATED and $$REPLACE should change the UPDATED date/time stamp because these requests should be treated as $$INSERT.

USED AS xNODE date/time stamp is lost on $$REPLACE. Also the USED as xNODE will have older date/time stamps after the DGADNTLD unload and load process.

1. Noted above twice for request to change $$REPLACE to verify if netmap entry exists. if yes, dont delete the fields.

2. The USED AS xNODE fields are unload and loaded for new NETMAP vsam builds. The CREATED date will change to current date/time stamp will be when the DGADNTLD LOAD batch job executes. In this case, the CREATED date will be newer than the last ISED AS xNODE dates.

This is already in process to keep history of previous netmap vsam file. Requesting to keep all 4 fields and update the netmap $$update and $$replace commands
