"A.**" and "B.**" can be in the same catalog. The datasets that are in the
linklst or lpalist do not have to be in the master catalog. You can use VOLSER
to point to the datasets.
LPALIST could look like this.
A.B.C.SOFTWARE(VOLSR1)
A.B.D.SOFTWARE(VOLSR2)
LINKLST could look like this.
LNKLST ADD NAME(PROGPL) DSN(A.C.D.SOFTWARE)
VOLUME(VOLSR3)
LNKLST ADD NAME(PROGPL) DSN(A.C.E.SOFTWARE)
VOLUME(VOLSR4)

Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: IEFA107I when pointing to dataset alias
What am I trying to do?
Let's say a product installation/customisation allows only for 1 HLQ, so I
choose B for it because
A.** is used to host datasets that need to be LNK/LPAd.
B.** is used to host datasets that need to be APFd or nothing at all (just
run-time).
A.** goes direct to the MCAT and B.** goes to a CATALOG.B.UCAT
Because I mentioned the 1 HLQ in product customisation, I need to make sure
that if the files are looked for in B.**, the A.** files need to be reachable
via their alises in B.**.
Makes sense?

It is best to keep everything in the same UCAT. Makes for a happy system
Could you explain what you are trying to do?
I have used SYMBLICREALTES and SYSTEM SYMBOLS to add things like release levels
in datasets, without the user having to change the JCL
For example. A.R111.B.C would be related to A.B.C which the end user always
uses and the R111 could be a system symbol that could be dynamically changed
as need.
