Hi,

Wonder if anyone can help with a small issue I'm having, trying to understand 
how an ALIAS gets resolved.

We are installing a product on a zOS system that utilises MQ to pass 
messages to/from a DB2 Subsystem. 

When we asked the client for certain MQ dataset names, they came back with

SYS5.MQ.XXXX.whatever

saying that the XXXX was using an ALIAS to determine which version was 
being used. Therefore, we wouldn't need to change the dataset names 
when/if we used a new version.

Could anyone explain how that works or, point me to a manual that could 
explain it.

Many thanks,

Rob
