Did you know...
  that you can pass macro variables to and from a remote session?

%let localvar1=3;

signon;
%syslput remotevar=&localvar1;
rsubmit;
...remote program...
endrsubmit;
%sysrput localvar2=&remotevar;

Now localvar1 contains the original value, and localvar2 has the value as
changed during the remote session.
