Can LINKLIST contain aliases? If so:
(0) Place the alias name in PARMLIB LINKLIST defs;
IDCAMS DEFINE ALIAS to the real data set name.
(1) create a new dataset with a different name and copy the data to it,
(2) IDCAMS DELETE ALIAS; DEFINE ALIAS to identify the new data set.
(3) LLA REFRESH to identify members in the new data set.
Why not? (I know; I've been corrupted by UNIX symbolic links, and
imagine aliases are similar.)
