Example H: Multiple PDS Members Containing List of Remotes

The following is an example of multiple PDS members containing list of remotes:

//REMOTES DD DSN=RMTLIST.DATA(RMTMEM1),DISP=SHR
//DD DSN=RMTLIST.DATA(RMTMEM2),DISP=SHR

Contents of RMTLIST.DATA(RMTMEM1):

BROWSE RMTLIST.DATA(RMTMEM1)
Command ===>
******************** Top of Data ********
Y,Y,Y,Y,N,N,,'SEQ.DATA.SET.CASCADE.RMT'
Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,N,,'SEQ.DATA.SET.NAME1.RMT'
Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,N,,'SEQ.DATA.SET.NAME2.RMT'
******************* Bottom of Data ******

Contents of RMTLIST.DATA(RMTMEM2):

BROWSE RMTLIST.DATA(RMTMEM2)
Command ===>
******************** Top of Data ********
Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,N,RMTNAME3,'PDS.DATA.SET'
Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,N,RMTNAME4,'PDS.DATA.SET'
******************* Bottom of Data ******

Just like in the foreground process, you may choose to perform certain actions against the remote in multiple passes (indicate to do Register, Split, and Compose for Remote A on one line and indicate to do Execute and Install on another). This allows common action blocks to be split out from the various remotes and compiled once.
