About ALIASTABLE

The Alias Table (ALIASTABLE) file stores the definition for each alias table. All member alias names must be associated with an alias table. Using multiple alias tables allows a member to have a unique alias name. The information in this file comes from IA12.3 (Alias Table).

Fields (4)

Column = COBOL field name without the ALI- prefix, hyphens → underscores. Derived fields are computed by the application and are not stored.

All member aliases applied to the blank alias table name are associated to the default alias table defined by the data mart.IA10.1, IA115, IA12.3, IASV.1
