Transaction Definition for CLISTs
An installation can specify whether the individual commands in a TSO/E 
CLIST
are treated as separate TSO/E commands for transaction control. Specifying
CNTCLIST=YES causes a new transaction to be started for each command in 
the
CLIST. A possible exposure of specifying CNTCLIST=YES is that long CLISTs
composed of trivial and intermediate commands might monopolize a domain's
MPL slots and cause interactive terminal users to be delayed. Specifying
CNTCLIST=NO (the default) causes the entire CLIST to constitute a single
transaction.

</end quote>

As I understand it, domains and MPL slots are no longer externalised with 
WLM Goal Mode, with WLM dynamically adjusting MPL levels to meet the 
service class goals. So I find it hard to see how setting CNTCLIST=YES 
could monopolize MPL slots. I ask because somebody has quoted this section 
of text as a reason not to set CNTCLIST=YES.

Does this section of text need updating or removal?

Also, can somebody please confirm that CNTCLIST does not apply when 
CLIST's/EXEC's are run in batch?
