Specifies which link segment a station is on and allows the NCP to set up Link Problem Determination Aid-2 (LPDA2) tests accordingly. SEGMENT is valid only if you specify LPDATS=LPDA2 on the LINE definition statement.
SEGMENT=1
Indicates the station is on segment number 1. This is the default value if TAILING=NO is specified.
SEGMENT=2
Indicates the station is on segment number 2. This is the default value if TAILING=YES is specified.

For more information on the TAILING operand, see the NCP, SSP, and EP Resource Definition Reference.

Note: VTAM uses this operand only when processing DR ADD definition statements for PUs that support LPDA-2.

Reference the NCP, SSP, and EP Resource Definition Reference for proper coding of the SEGMENT operand.
