Using 1 server:

RDS=(server-name,server-node-name,subprogram,logon-indicator,transport-protocol-name)

Using 2-10 servers:

RDS=((server-name,server-node-name,subprogram,logon-indicator,transport-protocol-name)(server-name,server-node name,subprogram,logon-indicator,transport-protocol-name)...(server-name,server-node-name,subprogram,logon-indicator,transport-protocol-name))

Where:

`server-name`	1 - 8 characters	The server name. There is no default, the value must be specified.
`server-node-name`	1 - 8 characters	The server node name. There is no default, the value must be specified.
