"Regular" aliases defined in UCATs are still unusable.
What do you mean by that? Are you talking about catalog aliases? Since user catalogs defined in user catalogs are not accessable (no cascading catalogs), then the aliases assigned to them are naturally not usable. What did you expect such an alias to do?
However there is another kind of alias - similar to symbolic link in UNIX. It's purpose is different. It is another name for non-VSAM dataset. Such alias can be in usable when defined in UCAT.
Personally, I would call this a "regular" alias. It existed in SYSCTLGs long before VSAM catalogs and catalog aliases.
