   '-NETID--=--network_id-'   

Specifies an optional 1–8 character identifier of the network in which the CDRSC, or set of CDRSCs, resides. This NETID pertains to the CDRSC, or set of CDRSCs, defined after the NETWORK definition statement and before any other NETWORK definition statement in the same set of definitions.
Note:
  1. If a CDRSC is defined with a network ID of the host network, the resource is considered real.
  2. A CDRSC defined with a network ID of the host network must reside in the host network.
  3. The use of the national character, #, is discouraged, because this character might not be present on keyboards of terminals produced in other countries. Because # might not be available on all terminals, SNA architecture specifically excludes # from the list of valid characters that can be used for defining network identifiers (NETIDs). Although VTAM® allows you to use #, other products might enforce this restriction.
