Specifies the network name of the VTAM® host subarea physical unit for this host. It is recommended that you code HOSTPU if you are using the NetView® program or NLDM. If you do not code HOSTPU, VTAM uses ISTPUS as the host PU name.
Note:
  1. The name for HOSTPU must not be the same as the name for this CDRM or the name coded for the SSCPNAME start option for this SSCP. If the name for HOSTPU is the same as the name for SSCPNAME, HOSTPU is set to ISTPUS. This host PU name should be network-unique.
  2. You are prompted for the correct name if a reserved name other than ISTPUS is specified on the HOSTPU start option or if the HOSTPU name and the SSCPNAME are the same.
  3. If you do not use the default name (ISTPUS), the subarea can still be defined to the system as ISTPUS. The name that you use as the HOSTPU value is interchangeable with the name ISTPUS in VTAM commands.
