Do not click on links or attachments unless you expect them from the sender and know the content is safe. Please contact the Service Desk if you have any concerns regarding this message. Working on a client system that has some unusual datasets alias defined for some z/OS system datasets. Other than the Scream method, is there any way to determine if the aliases are being used? Anything in RACF or SMF or any other option? More crazy than unusual, they some how lost their z/OS DLIB datasets so the crested alias for SYS1.AMODGEN and SYS1.AMACLIB to SYS1.MODGEN and SYS1.MACLIB. Those are the crazy examples but I am more concerned about the ones like alias SYS1.SISP* pointing to ISP.SISP*.
