It is a convention to make the LLQ match the DDDEF. But it is the DDDEF that matters, not the DSNAME. To summarize: 1 is relevant, 2 is not (the DSN does not matter), 3 is not not (it is the LLQ of the DSN, not the DDNAME that matters for JCLIN [1], 4 is relevant, 5 is relevant. [1] From the same manual on JCLIN: "The ddname for a distribution library or target library should match the lowest-level qualifier of the data set name. This is not a requirement, but rather a recommendation to help you specify the data sets used by SMP/E."
