Just to share an experience, I've never gotten an ALIAS to work, and
it's not for a lack of trying.

I try to create an alias like so:
create alias CGILIB/FRNMAST for cgilib/cafpmast(FRN)

I get a message:
"FRNMAST in CGILIB type *FILE already exists." (which it does not)

But when I try to run a statement against the alias:
select count(*) from cgilib/frnmast where MYRSLD = 1903

I get a message:
"CAFPMAST in CGILIB type *FILE not found." (This is the actual physical
and definitely DOES exist)


As much as I dislike them, overrides always work.
