Right. I see that on my system for DB2, for example, where we have
prereleases and lots of updates and so forth but DSNA.WHATEVER always gets
you the latest and greatest production dataset.

But what does that have to do with my question? <g>

Charles -- As an aside for you and maybe others.

Most SYSPROGS will install a product that contains the  VERSION/RELEASE
level mostly to know what we have.
Once we are done testing and over a weekend we will delete the COMMON name
and do a define Alias that has the COMMON name pointing to the ACTUAL DSN
that contains VERSION/RELEASE name As Lizette showed you.
