GENERIC(protocol,generic-name)

The GENERIC control option is used to define a generic network name to the local host for a given protocol. Providing a generic-name for a protocol is not required.

Parameters that must be entered for GENERIC are:

protocol

Communication protocol whose specific network connection is being assigned as a generic network resource. VTAM is the only communication protocol that supports generic resources, and only within a sysplex environment.

generic-name

Generic-name to be assigned to the specific network resource as defined in the PROTOCOL statement. If this parameter is omitted, any generic-name previously assigned is deleted.

Example (console)

CCI GENERIC(VTAM,A99CVC01)

Example (ENFPARMS)

GENERIC(VTAM,A99CVC01)
