The ALIAS statement is used to create or retain an alias in an output (partitioned or PDSE) directory. The ALIAS statement can be used with any of the function statements. Multiple aliases can be assigned to each member, up to a maximum of 16 aliases.

If an ALIAS statement specifies a name that already exists on the data set, the original TTR (track record) of that directory entry will be destroyed.

If ALIAS statements are used, they must follow the data statements, if any, in the input stream.
