Specifies the number of buffers to be allocated by VTAM® to receive data from an NCP. The value coded for MAXBFRU must satisfy the condition that MAXBFRU times the IOBUF size is less than 65535.
If you define LNCTL=NCP in a channel-attachment major node that is activated before the NCP major node, ensure that the MAXBFRU value in the NCP major node matches the MAXBFRU value in the channel-attachment major node. Because the MAXBFRU value in the channel-attachment major node is processed first, an error message is issued if the MAXBFRU value in the NCP major node differs from the value in the channel-attachment major node.
Note: If you are defining the channel to the NCP in a channel-attachment
major node, VTAM might ignore
this operand when the NCP is activated by a CMC host. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation
Guide for more information about CMC configurations.
