I would think it is because at one time there was no MODGEN library and JCL all pointed to AMODGEN. Then once MODGEN came into existence people just added MODGEN and didn't delete AMODGEN to some samples. Sometimes I still see samples pointing only to AMODGEN, so it is actually one of only two DLIB libraries I have indirectly cataloged with a symbolic that I change at each OS upgrade. I also indirectly catalog SYS1.AMACLIB because some samples have it.
Since MODGEN represents the running system, I don't know why anyone would want to use AMODGEN instead of MODGEN.
