Code a PATH definition statement to define a path to a physical unit in a switched major node. You can code up to 256 PATH definition statements for each physical unit. The PATH definition statement must immediately follow the PU definition statement that defines the associated physical unit. VTAM® searches the PATH definition statements for an available path in the order given in the configuration deck.
A PATH definition statement is required if data terminal equipment (DTE) ID verification or call selection is to be used on an incoming call.
