Thanks for setting me straight - LNKLST cannot, PROGxx LNKLST ADD can. Since APF is another story: 74.1.1 Defining aliases in the APF list Do not define aliases in the APF list because IBM's data management services (for example, OPEN processing) map an alias to its actual library name and query the APF list by the actual library name. An alias in the APF list does not authorize anything. ...for consistency, I would use DSN with a symbolic qualifier, or volume, unless LNKAUTH=LNKLST, then it doesn't matter. Just out of idle curiosity, I looked and found no documented restriction for aliases in LPALSTxx...do I take that to mean dataset aliases are supported? (Never thought to try it.)
