Identifying Multiple Target Members using a Table

z/OS MVS Programming: Sysplex Services Guide
SA23-1400-00

To identify multiple target members, create a table containing the member token of each member that is to receive the message. Use the IXCMSGOX SENDTO=GROUP,MEMBERS=TABLE option and identify the table with the TARGETS parameter.

Programming Note — Single Target Member Processing

There is a difference between sending a message to a single target member and broadcasting a message to a list of one target member. For example, if the one target member is not active, the result will vary as follow:
  • For a send to a single target member that is not active, XCF rejects the send request with a failing return code.
  • For a broadcast to a list of one target member that is not active, XCF returns a warning return code to the sender, but does not reject the request.
