Types of adjacent SSCP tables

There are three types of SSCP tables that are used for cross-network session requests:

Network-specific list

The network-specific list has a NETWORK definition statement coded in the adjacent SSCP table, and the NETID operand specifies the NETID of the destination network.

Network-specific and CDRM-specific list

The network-specific and CDRM-specific list specifies both a destination network and a destination CDRM.

Default list

The default SSCP list is used whenever one of the following conditions is true:

The destination network is not known.
The destination network is known, but there is not a network-specific table associated with the network.
The destination network and owning SSCP name are known, but the specific table cannot be located.

When a CDRSC network is known, but its owner is not, VTAM® uses the network-specific adjacent SSCP table for that network. If none is defined, the default is used.

The default SSCP list is part of the adjacent SSCP table. You can include network-specific SSCP lists for each network and a default list for use when the real network is not known.
