AKA

Adds, deletes and lists aliases for dataset names.


Formats

AKA ADD alias dataset
AKA DEL alias
AKA LIST alias [keyword]


Parameters

ADD

adds an alias for an ADDE dataset name

DEL

deletes an alias for an ADDE dataset name

LIST

lists the aliases (default)

alias

alias name; up to 24 characters (no default for ADD and DEL; default=all aliases for LIST)

dataset

ADDE dataset name that the alias represents; specify in group/descriptor format


Keyword

GROup=

lists all aliases for the specified group name (default=all groups)


Remarks

AKA adds, deletes or lists aliases in the client routing table.

You cannot assign the same alias to more than one ADDE dataset name because the ADD option overwrites an existing alias without warning. You may, however, assign more than one alias to an ADDE dataset name.

An alias can be used in place of the ADDE dataset name (group/descriptor) in other commands.
