Notes:
  1. SNVC is meaningful only if the BN=YES start option is also used.

Defines a maximum number of networks this border node will search when looking for a resource. This start option is valid only when BN=YES for this node.

You can change the value of SNVC with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command while VTAM® is running.
Note:
  1. If SNVC=1 is coded, the search scope is restricted to the originating subnetwork. A value of SNVC=2 is required to allow a request to traverse one subnetwork boundary.
  2. The maximum subnet count can be modified downwards if a node along the path has a lower SNVC count. However, the received SNVC is never modified upward.
