                '-NO--'

Specifies that an SSCP can be a gateway SSCP. If you code GWSSCP, the SSCP can still process CDRSCs defined with the NETID operand.

GWSSCP=NO

Specifies that this SSCP cannot:

Reroute initiation requests, so it cannot be an intermediate SSCP in the session setup path.
Perform the gateway functions.

GWSSCP=YES

Allows the SSCP to:

Reroute initiation requests.
Perform gateway functions in a session setup path.

Note that GWSSCP=YES is meaningful only for subarea nodes and APPN interchange nodes (NODETYPE=NN and HOSTSA is coded).

If you code GWSSCP=YES on the receiving CDRM definition, NETID is required on the NETWORK definition statement of all external CDRMs.

If you have coded a node to function solely as an end node or network node (NODETYPE=EN or NN, and HOSTSA is not coded), then you should not code GWSSCP. If you code GWSSCP in this case (specifying either YES or NO), it is ignored and an informational message is issued.

If you have coded a node to function as a migration data host (NODETYPE=EN and HOSTSA is coded), then you should code GWSSCP=NO. If you code GWSSCP=YES, or allow it to default to YES, VTAM® forces GWSSCP to NO and issues an informational message.
