Operands

procname
The procedure name for the command. If procname in the START command was specified as startname.ident, where startname is the VTAM® start procedure and ident is the optional identifier, either startname.ident or ident can be specified for procname.

If procname in the START command was startname, startname must be specified for procname.

INSTANCE
Specifies the number of APINGD transaction programs permitted to run concurrently for responding to APING requests from other nodes.
INSTANCE=UNLIMITED
Specifies that there is no limit to the number of transaction programs permitted to run concurrently for responding to APING requests from other nodes.
INSTANCE=value
Specifies the number of transaction programs permitted to run concurrently for responding to APING requests from other nodes.

Specifying INSTANCE=0 causes APING requests from other nodes to fail.
