Basically check if for the userid alias exist if no then create the log dataset 
and also the alias.

So, in this scenario, all TSO ids can create their own ALIAS in a catalog upon 
logon? (unless that routine CREATEALS has its own assigned user id authorized 
to create an ALIAS on the logging-on TSO id.)

AFAIK, I believe only specially assigned persons (usually Storage Admins) may 
create ALIAS in a catalog. This is to protect the catalog system and to ensure 
only approved HLQ can be used at all.

Of course, if you can do it, good for you simply it make the administration of 
the TSO ids and Catalogs much easier.
