   '-LUAPFX--=--string-'   

Specifies the first two characters of the LUALIAS assigned when a dynamically generated cross-network CDRSC (with NQNMODE=NQNAME) is created for a session with the application. VTAM® concatenates the characters specified with the next sequential number available to form a VTAM-generated LUALIAS name for the cross-network dynamic CDRSC.
LUAPFX=string
Indicates the two characters to be used as the prefix for all dynamically generated LUALIAS names for dynamic cross-network CDRSCs in session with this application. You must take into account the VTAM naming conventions when choosing this prefix. See Format of definition statements for naming conventions.

By using this prefix you can eliminate the need to predefine a CDRSC with LUALIAS for each cross-network resource which may want to establish a session with an application that does not support network qualified names. See LUALIAS for a description of the operand and how it is used.

Note: If model definitions are being used to define multinode persistent application programs and if PERSIST=MULTI is specified, use an MVS™ system symbol as part of the LUAPFX value to reduce name collisions during recovery processing.
