When generating request units from a message sent with OPTCD=LMPEO, VTAM® gives no consideration to the contents of the data. In general, the points at which VTAM splits the data, the RU boundaries, can occur anywhere in the data. VTAM ensures only that no RU is larger than the applicable maximum RU size, and that the first generated RU is equal to the maximum RU size, if there is enough FM data to make this possible. Because VTAM does not consider data content when splitting a message into RUs, LMPEO should not be used where RU boundaries imposed by LMPEO are significant relative to the data. Use of the buffer-list option, in combination with LMPEO, allows the application program to specify RU boundaries and, therefore, to minimize any adverse effects of RU boundary selection by LMPEO. Refer to The buffer-list (BUFFLST) option for information about how the buffer-list option is used with LMPEO. Some cases in which data-stream architectures or device implementations place restrictions on the use of LMPEO are as follows:
