DWACT

Specifies whether a physical unit is dialed when it is activated. DWACT provides an alternative to using the VARY DIAL command on each physical unit after it is activated.

For more information on the use of DWACT with a switched physical PU which has an associated logical hierarchy, see the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide.

DWACT=NO

Specifies that the physical unit is not dialed after it is activated.

DWACT=YES

Specifies that the physical unit is dialed after it is activated.

Note: DWACT=YES has no effect on VARY INACT,R command processing; VARY INACT,R causes the specified resource to be deactivated and reactivated but no dial operation will be performed.
