Other uses of the UDS/SQL pubset declaration

A UDS/SQL pubset declaration does not apply for the COBOL compiler which reads the COSSD file when a UDS/SQL application program is compiled using COBOL-DML. The COSSD file can be assigned explicitly to the COBOL compiler, together with the catalog ID, using the ADD-FILE-LINK command with LINK-NAME=UDSCOSSD (see the "Application Programming" manual, section "Special features of COBOL-DML").

There is no special treatment for files from an alias catalog (ACS). Above all you should not permit any aliases with catalog and/or user ID (COMPLETE-ALIAS-NAMES=*ALLOWED) as this would conflict with the intended effects of the UDS/SQL pubset declaration (see section “ACS (Alias Catalog Service)”).
