    The DDF is automatically started with DB2, and the issue of different names due to the naming policy in El Corte Ingles it is managed using the library SYS1.STCJOBS. From this library the start of the STC are captured, and the name is changed to what really appears as started. There is a member in this library for every STC that DB2 starts (and practically all of the zOS Software), so that all STCs comply with the naming policy at El Corte Ingles.

    The sample for the DDF is :

    //T0DD8100 JOB (77701,40290),DB2-DS81DIST,MSGLEVEL=(1,1),MSGCLASS=X
    //*                                                                
    //DS81DIST EXEC DS81DIST                                            

            This member is located in library SYS1.STCJOBS, and as we can see looking aht the contents, it invokes the DS81DIST, that should be the standard name. The member name is DS81DIST.
    The name of the started task for the DDF address space is T0DD8100 and I attach a log of this task in case it can be useful
