  *                         an alias PDS member when real PDS    *

  ****************************************************************
  01.When an alias PDS member is started to edit, RDz calls ENQ
     and RESERVE operation with the resource name based on the
     alias name. It causes to allow a user to edit the PDS member
     that is already opened by ISPF editor. ISPF editor uses the
     resource name based on the real name and RDz should work in
     the same manner. RDz server is updated to calculate the
     resource name for ENQ operation from a real PDS name not an
     alias PDS name. RDz client is updated to correct the
     resource name for RESERVE operation from a real PDS name not
     an alias PDS name.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.RDz server is updated to calculate the resource name for ENQ
     operation from a real PDS name not an alias PDS name. RDz
     client is updated to correct the resource name for RESERVE
     operation from a real PDS name not an alias PDS name.
