Subject:      Re: RLS Allocation with DISP=SHR Possible?

Last week I posted a question on how to execute a libname statement
for remote library services through SAS/CONNECT with a DISP=SHR and
didn't get much response.
 
I got an e-mail from an authoritive source with the answer:
 
>rsubmit the following libref to MVS or put in autoexec.sas file
>
>   libname a 'my.mvs.library' disp=shr;
>
>submit the following libref to your local session on Windows
>
>   libname a server=rsessid;
>
>By using the same libref, the second specification will inherit
>the characteristics associated with the original definition of
>"a".
 
I have also found that relative generation numbers can be used in a
libname with the remote engine:
 
  libname gdg0 remote 'gdgdata.whatever(0)' server=mainfrm ;
 
which never has worked in a regular libname statement.  I even tried
to it on the mainframe by establishing a 'remote' session on the same
machine with another userid and allocating the gdg with a statement
like the above.
