Is your feature or enhancement request related to a problem or limitation? Please describe
Today, the SDKs and the CLI have a hard time fully supporting alias datasets. This is partially due to a z/OSMF limitation on how aliases are handled over the
/zosfiles
REST APIs.See how the CLI and SDKs handle most CRUD operations: (see details in zowe/zowe-explorer-vscode#2699 (comment))
Describe your enhancement idea
Since alias data sets have a volume of
*ALIAS
, we can attempt to handle creation and deletion a bit differently. Consider the following commands:zowe files create [alias-data-set | alias] <aliasDS> <targetDS>
zowe files create alias USERID.PUBLIC.CNTL.ALIAS USERID.PUBLIC.CNTL
zowe files delete alias <aliasDS>
alias-data-set | alias
to thezowe files delete zfs
command,Describe alternatives you've considered
Recommend people to submit their own IDCAMS to create aliases, and use the
zowe files del zfs
to delete themProvide any additional context
