The Multilevel Alias Facility

z/OS DFSMS Managing Catalogs
SC23-6853-00

You can augment the standard catalog search order by defining multilevel catalog aliases. A multilevel catalog alias is an alias of two or more high-level qualifiers. You can define aliases of up to four high-level qualifiers. However, the multilevel alias facility should only be used when a better solution cannot be found. The need for the multilevel alias facility can indicate poor data set naming conventions. Before defining multilevel aliases, review your data set naming conventions.
