Examples Using Remote Library Services (RLS)

Example 3. RLS: Updating Server Data


Purpose

This example enables you to take advantage of a mainframe's superior data handling and security features, while you work in a user-friendly GUI environment. RLS is used to update server data. This application of RLS eliminates the need to transfer a disk copy of the data to the client session before processing the data. It also involves low volume transaction processing.


Program

1  x mkdir hr.emp.data;
libname hr 'hr.emp.data';
data hr.employee;
  x=1; 
  run;
signon remos390;

2  libname rlib REMOTE 'hr.emp.data' server=remos390;

3  proc fsedit data=rlib.employee;
run;

[1] Creates the data set HR.EMP.DATA.

[2] Defines the server session human resource library to the client session.

[3] Executes a client FSEDIT to update the employee data set that is located on the z/OS computer.
