INVALID DEFINITION TYPE IN MEMBER member IN VTAM DEFINITION LIBRARY

Explanation

VTAM® issues this message when:
  • The first definition statement or macro in major node definition member is not valid. The statement in error can be an operand on the definition statement. One possible cause of this error is that a definition statement is in the wrong column.
  • The first definition statement or macro in major node definition member is not compatible with a VTAM start option or the start option is not specified correctly.
Note: Activating an NCP requires special consideration. VTAM selects the PCCU definition statement associated with this host by comparing the SUBAREA keyword value with the subarea of this host (specified by HOSTSA start option). If VTAM finds no PCCU definition statement with that subarea value, VTAM issues this message. For further information, see the descriptions of the PCCU definition statement and the HOSTSA start option in the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference.
