How You Define Target System Aliases

You can use the DEFALIAS command to define site-specific aliases that represent a group of system IDs. When issuing cross-system commands to those systems, use the defined alias keyword instead of listing system IDs separately.

For example, you could issue the following DEFALIAS command to establish an alias that represents three systems:

DEFALIAS COMPLEX1 (SYS1,SYS2,SYS3)

Then, if you issue the command @COMPLEX1 D T, the D T command is issued on systems SYS1, SYS2, and SYS3.
