Determines whether this minor node is to be initially active when the NCP major node to which it belongs is first activated, either because of a cold start of VTAM, or, after VTAM is started, by issuing the VTAM VARY ACT,COLD command for the NCP major node. For logical units, ISTATUS is also effective whenever the associated physical unit is activated.
When coding the ISTATUS operand, consider these special
cases:
- For a line with TYPE=PEP, ISTATUS does not apply and is ignored if you code it.
- For a line with USE=NCP, the line is initially active.
- For a line with USE=EP, the line is initially inactive.
Code ISTATUS=INACTIVE for all start-stop lines supported by Network Terminal Option (NTO).
The operator can override the ISTATUS specification using the SCOPE operand on the VARY ACT command.
If LNCTL=CA (on GROUP), you must specify ISTATUS=INACTIVE
on the LINE definition statement if PUTYPE=5 on the PU definition
statement.
- ISTATUS=ACTIVE
- Indicates that the minor node is automatically activated when its major node is activated.
- ISTATUS=INACTIVE
- Indicates that the minor node is not automatically activated when its major node is activated.
