Specifies the action the logical unit expects VTAM® to take when physically terminating the SSCP-PU session after the logical unit has been disconnected. A HOLD value of YES corresponds to a NOT LAST indicator on a Terminate Self request. The effect of HOLD depends on the setting of the DISCNT operand specified on the PU statement. The relationship between HOLD and DISCNT is described in the z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide.

Note: HOLD(NO) should not be specified for token ring connections as this might cause errors in attached gateways which require operator intervention.
