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.
