If statistics are updated or created for members of a data set by entering a wildcard as part of the member name and no member selection list is displayed, statistics for alias members are not created, thus leaving the alias bit untouched.

If alias members are selected from a member selection list, a confirmation pop-up panel is displayed for each alias selected, before creating ISPF statistics. If statistics are created for an alias member, the alias bit is turned off, effectively creating a non-alias member using the same TTR as the original member for which the alias was created.
