When you specify a relative (-x) GRS serializes on the base. If you get JAL/DCS Thruput Manager from MVS Solutions then you can convert the relative to the absolute prior to job initiation, and get by this problem. I don't know what other products exist that can do this.
Otherwise, you have to manually do the =3.4 or listcat yourself, get the full name, and allocate it yourself using the full name, which usually requires a JCL edit prior to submission.

Why GRS minor name is GDG.BASE.NAME, not the GDS member name ?
