Determines whether the physical unit continues to operate when the NCP enters automatic network shutdown.
ANS=CONTINUE or CONT
Specifies the LU-LU session is to continue when the NCP enters into automatic network shutdown mode. Code ANS=CONTINUE
  • If the terminal participates in XRF sessions
  • For frame relay PUs
When a session is continued and takeover occurs, if the LU taken over is a dependent logical unit, it 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 about these restrictions, see z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide.
ANS=STOP
Specifies that the LU-LU session will be terminated when the NCP enters automatic network shutdown mode.
