John, My reading of the original post related to catalog aliases, not load module aliases. The only way I could think to track catalog alias creation would be to process the SMF records cut by a catalog update. After the fact, I don't see any indication of the creation date.

Romain, ALIAS is a binder control statement. The date on which the current instance of an alias was created is thus almost always the date (and time) on which the binder produced the program object that has that alias for its principal (USS) or some (MVS) entry point. These comments apply mutatis mutandis to linkage-editor processing. The HLASM also has a [misnamed] ALIAS statement, the function of which is to replace traditional short by, typically, long external names; but you appear to have the Binder control statement in mind.
