Modifying the naming convention

z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide
SC27-3672-01

You can change the naming convention by modifying the ISTDEFIN command list. A set of directions is provided in the ISTDEFIN command list for supplying a seed value to control the values for the first two characters of the device name. For example, if you want to have your device names begin with MY, change the following in the ISTDEFIN command list:
seed='MY'                 /* user seed value */
Thus, the name generated for the definition of a device at X'123' is named MY0123D.

If you want to use the IBM® defaults, do not change the seed value.

ISTDEFIN replaces the major node if the same name already exists in USER1.AUTO.VTAMLST, so the definition contains the latest device information.
