Specifies the group identifier of a group of paths across all physical units in the switched major node.
Group identifiers can be assigned to allow the VTAM® operator to regulate the use of switched network services. For example, if GID=6 is assigned to all paths in a switched major node that use direct distance dialing, the VTAM operator can make all of the paths usable or not usable with a single command.
