I'm doing ISPF-compatible member enqueues, while loading a bunch of members
with BPAM/BSAM.
I'm following the doc, which indicate SCOPE=SYSTEMS:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.f54pc00/isppcmmnamen.htm

I guess that I don't understand the distinction between GRS and sharing
within a SYSPLEX wrt SCOPE=SYSTEMS.   I had assumed that SCOPE=SYSTEMS is
not only GRS, but also for serializing across members of a sysplex.  No?

BTW: with SCOPE=SYSTEM, it is blazing fast.
