Subject: Re: Silly linklist dataset question
[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize

not to bring an old subject back from the dead, I have a somewhat
related question.
some background;
for many years my predecessor has been create alias pointers for
'TCPIP.V2R2.SEZALINK' 'V3R1.SEZALINK' and some other variations of the
name that IBM in its infinite wisdom changed many times. last weekend
my z/OS 2.4 upgrade I removed all catalog aliases, thinking I had ALL
reference to these aliases removed, I was wrong.
My question is more APF related, in the PROGxx member, we have both the
ALIAS and the REAL name in the APF list, can I safely remove the ALIAS
name from the APF since the real dataset is APF'd and will be fetched
from the linklist -

Datasets in our linklist are APF authorized via LINKAUTH=LNKLST. Is there
any differences on how program fetch behaves if a dataset in the linklist is
also APF authorized in PROGxx as far as modules being fetched from the
linklist?

To the specific question: "no". When LNKAUTH=LNKLST, for a fetch from
the LNKLST, there is no querying of the APF status of the LNKLST (and/or any
data sets within it).
FWIW, for a fetch from DCB/TASKLIB/STEPLIB/JOBLIB, there is generally no
querying of an individual data set at the time of fetch, instead the DEB is
looked at (DEBAPFIN) to see if the entire concatenation is APF-authorized.
"OPEN" does the querying.
