Specifies when VTAM® should end its SSCP-LU and
SSCP-PU sessions and, when DISCNT=YES, whether to indicate final-use
status in the DACTPU request unit when it deactivates a physical unit.
- DISCNT=(NO)
- If you code NO or use the default, VTAM terminates
the SSCP-LU and SSCP-PU sessions when certain conditions are met.
See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation
Guide for a discussion about conditions that can
cause sessions to terminate.
- DISCNT=(YES)
- If you code YES, VTAM automatically
terminates the SSCP-LU and SSCP-PU sessions as soon as the last LU-LU
session is terminated.
- DISCNT=(YES,F)
- DISCNT=(YES,NF)
- Specifies whether VTAM indicates
final-use status in the DACTPU request unit when it deactivates a
physical unit as a result of DISCNT=YES. This operand does not apply
when DISCNT=NO, nor does it have any effect on the VARY INACT command.
If you code F or use the default, final-use status is indicated
and the physical connection can be ended. If you code NF, not-final-use
status is indicated and the physical connection should not be broken.
Each
device has its own requirements regarding final-use status. To determine
whether to code F or NF for a given device, consult the appropriate
installation publication for the device.
