Rick The m4 macro processor is a standard unix offering and can do anything from simple includes and variable substitutions to lisp-like processing that will boggle your mind. An m4 macro with some include files and a makefile with a cron job to build your dsm.sys might do the job.

Another option would be to use server-side client option sets: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.srv.doc/t_mgclinod_mkclioptsets.html These options mirror what can be set in dsm.sys, and can either be overridden by the client, or enforced by the server.
