Closed as new function.
Error description
This New Function APAR will give the user the ability to define the keywords XID, LPDA, LMODADR, RETRIES, SEGMENT, and GP3174 on a Switched or Model PU Major Node. When this major node is used as a DLUS, these values will be passed to the DLUR via the Control Vector x'43' in the encapsulated ACTPU.

Comments
The new function provided will give the user the ability to define the keywords XID, LPDA, LMODADR, RETRIES, SEGMENT, and GP3174 on a Switched or Model PU Major Node. When this Major Node is used as a DLUS, these values will be passed to the DLUR via the Control Vector 43 in the encapsulated ACTPU. --------------------------------------- Publications Changes --------------------------------------- VTAM Resource Definition Reference, SC31-6498-01, should be changed in Model Major Node - Operand Descriptions, starting on page 253, and Switched Major Node - Operand Descriptions, starting on page 412, to include the references for the following keywords as described below: *** NOTE: For Switched PU Major Nodes, VTAM permits definition of this keyword soley for the purpose of passing this definition to the DLUR when this Major Node is used as a DLUS. Thus, the DLUR determines whether or not this definition is actually used in any session activity. GP3174 --GP3174=NO -------------------- | | >------------------------------------> | | | --NO--------------- | | | | | --GP3174=----------------------- | | -group_address----- statements: PU dependency: NCP, See NOTE *** Specifies that a poll to an IBM 3174 gateway controller can be a group poll for any station on the IBM 3174, including the IBM 3174 and the stations attached to the token ring. group address indicates the hexadecimal group poll address and can be any two hexadecimal digits except X'00' and X'FF'. If you code LPDATS=LPDA2, X'FD' is not valid. LMODADR >----------------------------------------------------> | | -LMODADR=-seg1_loc_mod_addr-------------------- | | -(seg1_loc_mod_addr,seg2_loc_mod_addr)- statements: PU dependency: LPDATS, SEGMENT, See NOTE *** range: X'0'-X'F' Specifies the local modem addresses used on the line going to the physical unit. Specify a local modem address (seg1_loc_mod_addr) for link segment 1 and, if necessary, a local modem address (seg2_loc_mod_addr) for link segment 2. Note: seg2_loc_mod_addr is valid only if SEGMENT=2. LPDA --LPDA=ALLOW-------------------- | | >------------------------------------> | | | --ALLOW------------ | | | | | --LPDA=------------------------- | | --BLOCK------------ statements: PU dependency: NCP, See NOTE *** specifies whether Link Problem Determination Aid (LPDA) test can be run for the physical unit. Note: Do not specify this keyword if PUTYPE=4 has been specified. LPDA=ALLOW indicates LPDA test will run for the PU. LPDA=BLOCK indicates no LPDA test will run for the PU. RETRIES >------------------------------------------------> | | -RETRIES=(,pause_interval,maximum_retries)- statements: PU dependency: See NOTE *** range: 0-255 specifies the number of attempts to be made to recover from errors occurring during transmission over the link. Each attempt at recovery, or retry, is a retransmission of data of control commands. Retries are performed in sets, which are called retry sequences. pause_interval specifies the pause interval in seconds between two retry sequences. Valid values are 0-255. When the number of retries in a retry sequence is 0, pause_interval must be 0. maximum_retries specifies the maximum number of retry sequences. valid values are 0-127. note: a comma must precede the pause_interval value. Such as, RETRIES=(,11,12) . SEGMENT >--------------------> | | -SEGMENT=---1--- | | -2- statements: PU dependency: NCP, See NOTE *** specifies which link segment a station is on and allows the NCP to set up Link Problem Determination Aid-2 (LPDA2) tests accordingly. SEGMENT=1 indicates the station is on segment number 1. SEGMENT=2 indicates the station is on segment number 2. XID --XID=NO------------ | | >------------------------> | | | -NO---- | | | | | --XID=-------------- | | -YES--- statements: PU dependency: See NOTE ***
