Purpose

You can use the VARY INOP command to terminate a manual dial operation if the VTAM® operator is unable to complete the call.

A physical unit in a switched major node can be dialed either automatically or manually to establish a session with a logical unit. For manual dialing, VTAM issues a message containing the following information:

The name of the line that VTAM will try to use to make the connection. The line must be a switched line with dial-out capability.
The telephone number that the VTAM operator is to dial. This number is the number specified in the DIALNO operand of the appropriate PATH statement associated with the physical unit that the operator is dialing.

After receiving this information, the VTAM operator must try to make the connection by dialing the specified telephone number. If the operator is unable to complete the connection, the operator should enter the VARY INOP command either to ask VTAM to search for an alternate path or to ask VTAM to terminate the session request without a search for an alternate path.
