   '-APPNCOS--=--appn_cos_name-'   

Specifies the name of the APPN Class of Service to be used for the APPN portion of the session that uses this logon mode.

name can be 1–8 characters.

Class of Service names are determined as follows:
  • The subarea portion of the session uses the Class of Service name coded on the COS operand.
  • The APPN portion of the session uses the Class of Service name coded on the APPNCOS operand.
  • Using both the COS and APPNCOS operands enables you to use two different Class of Service names for the subarea and APPN portions of the same session.
  • If the COS operand is coded but the APPNCOS operand is not coded, the CoS name is used for both the subarea and APPN portions of the session. Therefore, if you want to use the same CoS name to represent identical classes of service in both the subarea and APPN networks, coding the COS operand is sufficient. You do not need to code the APPNCOS operand.
  • If the APPNCOS operand is coded but the COS operand is not coded, the default Class of Service name (8 blanks) is used for the subarea portion of the session and the APPNCOS Class of Service name is used for the APPN portion.
  • If neither the COS operand nor the APPNCOS operand is coded, then the default Class of Service names (8 blanks for the subarea portion of the session and #CONNECT for the APPN portion) are used.
