Add info of DDSIAUS2 of ADARES PLCOPY to Checkpoint file

We do ADARES PLCOPY TWOCOPIES - DDSIAUS1 to GDG and DDSIAUS2 to a dataset with date/time in the name. DDSIAUS1 rolls over after the GDG limit is reached and DDSIAUS2 is retained for 12 or 24 months. However only the info of DDSIAUS1 is reported in a ADAREP checkpoint list. Therefor we have to deduct the name of the associated DDSIAUS2 from looking at the checkpoint list but there is no specific reported name. For example the PLCOPY might start at 20h00.15 and finish at 20h01.35- the associated DDSIAUS2 then will have a DSN name of something like "PLOG.DB061.D250917.T200015". The SYNP 28 in the checkpoint list will be written at 20h01.35. I can therefor logically deduct that the PLOG associated with this checkpoint should be "PLOG.DB061.D250917.T200015" but there is no reported DDSIAUS2 name to give me that warm feeling of "yes it is correct because the checkpoint file reported the fact"
