Just what I wanted to hear. Now I can go back to the vendor and convince them they should retain the alias.
Thanks all ... -----Original Message----- Peter Relson >In PRODUCT.LPALIB is MODULE1 (no alias) In SYS1.LPALIB is MODULE1 with >alias ALIAS1 This is considered a mis-built system and the behavior is what the behavior is. You are expected not to do this. An ALIAS is expected to be associated with a "Major" name in the same data set. Almost all processing for an alias is done by tieing in to the major name's entry and taking all the "real information" from there, applying (basically) just the offset information present in the alias to determine the entry point of the alias. Here there is no information maintained about the major (as it was not built into LPA due to being a duplicate). Building the alias was apparently also not done as a result.
