Use the optional HNGROUP Client Identifier
statement to define a group of host names. The group name can be used
on several mapping statements.
Tip: To cause the host
name to be present in the control vector (CV64) information, or to
make the host name that is used to inform the mechanism be associated
with the CHECKCLIENTCONN statement, add a dummy HNGROUP-ENDHNGROUP
statement block.
Syntax
.---------.

>>-HNGROUP--hngroup_name----hn_name-+--ENDHNGROUP--------------><
Parameters
- hngroup_name
- The group name (up to 16 characters) that contains the host names.
- hn_name
- An exact, completely qualified host name or a wildcard host name.
Wildcards
can be specified in two ways:
Both wildcard techniques require that the entire qualifier be
wildcarded. For example, *USER.IBM.COM is not a valid use of a wildcard.
In this case, use *.IBM.COM instead.
Usage notes
- Any given host name or wildcard host name can only appear one
time within all HNGROUPs.
- Results in DNS hostname resolution for every new connection processed
by the TN3270 server.
- See Rules for host name specification for
host name resolution and display information.
