IEBCOPY is the utility of choice. If you copy a module with aliases it does NOT automatically pick up the aliases.
You need to specify the module and all the aliases in the copy request to preserve the relationship. Otherwise you end up with the aliases in the output dataset becoming modules on their own right. Depending on whether you access it by the main name or the alias you get the updated module or an un-updated one.

Does it depend on which utility you use to copy? Which are safe and which unsafe? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
