Specifies the subarea address assigned to the physical unit (NCP or VTAM®) represented by this PU definition statement. VTAM compares the subarea number in the partner’s XID with the defined subarea number to verify that the node on the other end of the switched subarea connection is the one that was expected. This operand is required when PUTYPE=4 or PUTYPE=5.
The SUBAREA value must be the same as the subarea address defined for this physical unit in the other domains of the network. This operand is for switched subarea connections.
