They do. What basically happens is that the external name is a name of a
member (what you would call a FILE in Unix) inside of a Partitioned
Dataset (what you would call a one level directory). Member names are
restrcited to 8 chars. In some cases you have only 7 available for your
use.


If you want exact references, the entrie IBM library is on the web.
Try http://www.s390.ibm.com,/
and search for "linkage editor" or "binder".

webifying, with annotations even. -John]
