Statement ordering

Restrictions: Follow these restrictions for statements:
  • At least one of each type of statement, except the TRACE statement, must appear in the configuration data set. TRACE is the only optional statement.
  • Only one BUFFERS statement can be defined, and it can appear anywhere in the data set.
  • Only one VTAM® statement can be defined, and it must appear before the first LINK statement.
  • You must have one LINK statement for each network directly connected to the SNALINK LU6.2 address space.
  • You must have one DEST statement for each distinct IP address on the directly connected networks.
  • A DEST statement defining a destination IP address must appear before a TRACE statement for the same destination IP address. The DEST statements for a particular network must appear after the LINK statement for that network and before the next LINK statement.
    For example:
       LINK
       DEST
       .
       .
       .
       LINK
  • The data set can have any number of TRACE statements. If the ranges specified in any of the TRACE statements overlap, the resulting trace levels are determined by invoking the TRACE statements in the order in which they appear in the data set.
