OK, great, thanks. I was looking in the "Standard Packaging Rules for z/OS
Products" and could not make sense out of what they were saying about
aliases.

Check your "SMP/e for z/OS: Reference" manual, Chapter 2.

" The ++PROGRAM MCS describes a program element (a pre-built load module or
a program object). It must immediately precede the load module or program
object when they are within the SYSMOD. Use the ++PROGRAM when you want to
ship executables as program parts. If you want to provide the object form of
the module, use the ++MOD MCS instead."

The name after "++PROGRAM(" is the "true module name" or Load module name.
Then in the "++PROGRAM" statement you can code, "ALIAS(" which will be the
list of alias names for the load module:

++PROGRAM(TRUEMO) ALIAS(THING1,THING2) .
