I think the alias and the resolved dataset have to be in the same catalog.

Okay, I'm getting myself confused regarding SYMBOLICRELATE.

I have a data set, SYS3.LINKLIB which resides in CATALOG.USERSYS. I want to 
define an alias called XX35.SYS3.LINKLIB (XX35 hlq data sets reside in 
CATALOG.USERTSO) that points to the SYS3.LINKLIB data set. I've issued:

DEF ALIAS(NAME(XX35.SYS3.LINKLIB) SYMBOLICRELATE(&SYS3LNK_)) 
CAT(CATALOG.USERTSO)

And have SYMDEF(&SYS3LNK_='SYS3.LINKLIB') defined in IEASYMxx.

The define works just fine, but it doesn't locate the data set. I get "Dataset Not 
Cataloged" in ISPF 3.4 What am I doing wrong?

LISTC ALL ENT('XX35.SYS3.LINKLIB')

ALIAS --------- XX35.SYS3.LINKLIB
IN-CAT --- CATALOG.USERTSO
HISTORY
