Sorry, I am doing a terrible job explaining this. The "outside of SMP/E" link 
job doesn't do the link directly by invoking HEWL, but rather by invoking SMP/E 
with 

SET BOUNDARY(TARGET) .
LINK LMODS CALLLIBS .

So it's "outside of SMP/E" in the sense of being *submitted* outside of the 
APPLY/ACCEPT process, but it *does* invoke SMP/E.

Does that help? Or make it worse?

Thanks

Rich Way

Ok, so if I understand correctly, you have an SMP/E packaged product that 
includes a load module. That load module was created using SMP/E without an 
alias that it should have. You then link that load module outside of SMP/E to 
include an IBM component.

Here are more questions.

Was the load module linked correctly by SMP/E? I assume not because you seem to 
have identified that the JCLIN was missing the alias.

When you link the module after APPLY outside of SMP/E, do you link it back into 
the SMP/E target library or into another PDS?

In any case, the JCLIN that you provide to SMP/E for this LMOD will not cause 
the second link outside of SMP/E to have the alias.
