The ROUTEDIR parameter will allow VTAM® to present the RIF field to the Config
Services XID exit with the RIF direction bit set appropriately.
- ROUTEDIR=INBOUND
- Indicates the direction of the route is from the device inbound to VTAM. The default is to set the RIF direction bit as an INBOUND direction.
- ROUTEDIR=OUTBOUND
- Indicates it will flip the RIF direction bit prior to presenting the information to the Config Services XID exit. This will allow the XID exit to interpret the RIF field in an INBOUND or OUTBOUND direction.
This parameter is relevant to users of the VTAM Config Services XID exit, ISTEXCCS.
For LAN problem analysis, VTAM XCA (FID2) support provides the VTAM Config Services XID exit with the TokenRing Routing Information Field (RIF) of the received XID. The RIF is available in Subfield X'03' within the CV57 (REQCONT RU).
