Q.If XXX is the jobstep program and XXX has an alias of YYY, then is a CDE created for YYY at the time the jobstep begins?
A.No. That would require that the system get a complete directory of the data set in order to learn all the aliases that exist for XXX. If YYY is the jobstep program, then a CDE is created for YYY and also one for XXX since the information that XXX is the "major" is within the directory entry for YYY.
