Technical detail: ISPF does not write SMF14, CLOSE does. To have CLOSE record the aliasname, ISPF should be enhanced to OPEN the aliasname directly, i.s.o. discover and OPEN the real name. I suppose the ISPF technicians will recognize this.

However, ISPF does NOT access the dataset via the alias, instead appearing to discover the real dataset and access that directly. I've raised an RFE to enhance ISPF to record this alias usage: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=91081 Vote if you like it :) Thanks, Andy Styles z/Series Systems Programmer Lloyds Banking Group plc.
