HP SYSTEM DICTIONARY XL UTILITIES-Part 2 SDDBC

Alias Name Option 

If name option is ALIAS, data names are generated from the dictionary as
described below.

For database name, the IMAGE-ALIAS name of the database entity is used.
If IMAGE-ALIAS name does not exist, then the primary name will be used.

For data item name, the IMAGE-ALIAS name from relationship of
relationship-type RECORD contains ELEMENT is used.  If the IMAGE-ALIAS
name does not exist at the relationship level or the IMAGE-ALIAS names
from different relationships for the same item are not the same, then the
IMAGE-ALIAS name of the ELEMENT entity is used.  If the IMAGE-ALIAS name
does not exist at the ELEMENT entity level, then the primary name of the
element will be used.  Also if the IMAGE-ALIAS name conflicts with
another item name, then the primary name of the element will be used.

Similar rules apply for data set name.  First, SDDBC will try to use the
IMAGE-ALIAS name from relationship of relationship type IMAGE-DATABASE
contains IMAGE-DATASET. If the IMAGE-ALIAS name at the relationship level
does not exist, then the IMAGE-ALIAS name of the DATA SET entity will be
used.  If the IMAGE-ALIAS name at the DATA SET entity level does not
exist then the primary name of the data set will be used.  Also if the
IMAGE-ALIAS name conflicts with another data set name, then the primary
name of the data set will be used.
