FOR's, part three...

Don't forget to specify the information about the VSAM files when defining the remote details. Things like record size and keylength come to mind that if not specified will cause very strange results. Also, if the CSD is shared between the regions, only one FILE definition is needed for ALL of them. Include the REMOTESystem and REMOTEName and CICS will determin if this FILE is local or remote for you. This same concept can be used for TRANSACTIONS as well.
