Determines whether the physical unit continues to operate when the NCP enters automatic network shutdown. The value coded on this definition statement overrides whatever value is coded on the ANS definition statement for the NCP.

For switched subarea connections, this operand specifies whether a switched subarea connection over lines attached to this physical unit should remain active or be dropped when the owning SSCP is lost. This is used only on a PU definition statement that defines a subarea physical unit that will be connected to a link station within an NCP.

Note:

This operand is ignored for switched subarea connections.
If the TRLE operand is coded, ANS is ignored. See TRLE for more information.

ANS=CONTINUE or CONT

Indicates that LU-LU sessions will continue when the NCP enters automatic network shutdown.

You must code ANS=CONTINUE or CONT if the terminal is to participate in XRF sessions.

When a session is continued and takeover occurs, the dependent logical unit taken over must support ACTLU(ERP) or the session is terminated during takeover processing. An independent logical unit does not receive ACTLU, so this restriction does not apply.

Note that there are several restrictions for session continuity in certain configurations. For information on these restrictions, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide.

ANS=STOP

Indicates that LU-LU sessions will be terminated when the NCP enters automatic network shutdown for all LUs associated with this PU.
