Specifies the CP name of the node to which the search request is to be forwarded.

The CP name may be network qualified. If you specify a control_point_name, but not a netid, VTAM® uses this node's NETID. If you do not code CPNAME, VTAM uses this node's network qualified CP name.

The CP names of the following nodes can be listed when defining ADJCLUST definitions:
  • Extended border nodes in this node's topology subnetwork, which own subnetwork boundaries with other APPN subnetworks.
  • Nodes in adjacent nonnative subnetwork with which this node has a subnetwork boundary.
  • This node's CPNAME which indicates that this node's native subnetwork should be searched.
