Without knowing *where* what Mark Thomen said is now documented, the restriction still applies. Go to SDSF DA screen, look at all asids and sort them by asid. There will be an asid in the upper 20 not used (in my case it was x'10'). That was limited function CAS, the one only capable of accessing the master cat. Full function CAS is asid x'26' on that system.
The only hint I was able to find in the 'Managing Catalogs' manual was this: "Aliases of data sets may not be used prior to the start of Master Scheduler Initialization. This is approximately the time that the system switches to full screen console mode. Thus, cataloged data set names contained in system initialization members that are read and processed prior to this time may NOT be specified as aliases. The actual data set names must be provided."
