How can I create a member in a PDS using either JCL or REXX? The member's name must contain the actual date. Is that possible?

It can be done in JCL and by Rexx. You need to remember that member names are a maximum of 8 bytes and cannot start with a numeric so you would need to use something like the 'Julian' date e.g. 2017365. You may have system variables available to populate your JCL - check the JCL manual and level of Z/os that you are using.
