Read about the PSBGEN utility here.

I readed [PSBGEN utility], but I don't find the method to solve it.

"solve it" - solve what? The PSBGEN - if you study the link - produces SYSPRINT. This will ahve the date and time of the module generation. That info may also be in the PSB load module - have you looked?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

To expand on NicC's reply: find the linkage editor signature in the genned PSB. Older linkage editors will place, at the end of this record, the gen date as a three-byte unsigned packed decimal number, in the format yyddd. The z/OS binder places the date and time at the end of the record -- the three-byte date followed by a four-byte unsigned packed decimal time in the format xhhmmss (x being a "slack" nybble).

I can find member's created time in the PSB load module by my eyes, but I hope to find it by tool or utility.

I'm having trouble finding the IBM version, but I know it's out there...
We have a BMC utility that will read a PSBLIB entry and give you exactly what you are looking for. It runs in batch, and I know I ran an IBM version of it once to make sure we could use them if we dropped BMC. Look for "IMS Tools" or something like that on the IBM site.

OK, found this:
The third line of the output has:
PSBGEN:06/05/2006 09.42
Now, it's all up to YOU to find the equivalent IMSVS.DBT.SHPSLMD0 library at your shop. I would recommend you find an IMS compile, then look at the link/edit step. There will be a SYSLIN DD statement, and it will have a concatenated DSN that has a name like SYS.PROCLIB, or IMSVS.PROCLIB. Whatever that is, use the HLQ from that file name, do a 3.4 look up on it, and find 'DBT'. That should be the IBM IMS DataBase Tools (D.B.T. get it?).
Also, you can get the books for this utility at the IBM web site. Be sure to get the ones that match your version of IMS.
//JS010 EXEC PGM=FABMMAIN
