Tom, Everything with ISV installs has version release in the DSN's.   I've 
personally never liked SYMBOLICRELATE, so I don’t use it.    Cloning process is 
boiled down to a standard set of batch jobs that just get run.   Not much 
thought process involved.

Dave,

Ok, so that's how you run your ISV products, but what about the DDDEFs for 
them? Do they specify the "VerRelease" and no UNIT/VOLUME?

It seems like using data set aliases with SYMBOLICRELATE would be simpler than 
your cloning process.
