No, it is not catalog issue, including multilevel alias. I just created alias named HLQ.A-L1 However first qualifier is special one because of RACF. You cannot create RACF profile without creating group or user for HLQ. And both GROUP and USER names cannot contain "-". Of course one may consider uprotected datasets, but IMHO it has no practical usage.

Would that be because of a Catalog issue? As in an Alias can't contain "-"?

For dataset names the addition is "-". This character can be used in dataset names with no tricks like name in apostrophes, uncataloged ones, etc.

We tried using this for our PHX-BDT product. It worked great in the second qualifier (e.g., SYS2.PHX-BDT.SJBDMAC), but not in the first.

Since we prefer to deliver product data sets with the product name as the first qualifier, we settled on using PHXBDT instead...
