John, It's the box for disaster real vs. disaster test :) The CPU ids will be the same. I think having a different config file entered on the HMC will probably work best. It will imbed much of the same stuff.
Curious about SYSTEM NETID though. Do we still need the multiple entries like: 096F4A MC9VM RSCS 196F4A MC9VM RSCS 296F4A MC9VM RSCS 396F4A MC9VM RSCS 496F4A MC9VM RSCS I don't think I've ever not seen a 0 in the 1st digit in recent history.

Marcy, There is no "stop", "exit", or "abort", but if you use different system identifiers (which are defined by CPU) you can use a combination of record qualifiers and IMBED statements (to make the record qualifiers less tedious) to cause only the relevant statements to be processed for each system. For example, with system identifiers DTEST and DREAL: DTEST: IMBED DISTEST CONFIG DREAL: IMBED DISREAL CONFIG DISTEST CONFIG and DISREAL CONFIG are separate config files with statements that are unique to one system or the other. If this applies to only a few statements, you can just put them all in the same config file and use a record qualifier on each statement that is unique to one system or the other.
