Specifies the dynamic path update member names in the VTAM® definition library. When the NCP is successfully activated, VTAM processes and sends path table update specifications to the NCP.
Up to three member names can be specified; if more than three member names are specified on the PCCU definition statement, only the first three are used.
VTAM sends the path table update specifications over the SSCP-PU session before any links, other than the link for the SSCP-PU session, are activated. If you attempt to change or delete the explicit route used for the SSCP-PU session, the NCP rejects the request (because the explicit route is currently operative), and VTAM displays a warning message.
Any NEWPATH operand specification on the PCCU definition statement is nullified if the NEWPATH operand is specified in the VARY ACT command for the NCP. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for more information about the VARY ACT command.
When a dynamic path update member is processed as a result of a NEWPATH operand on the PCCU definition statement, path update specification sets for other subareas, if any, are not applied.
