Specifies whether this application program can have multiple concurrent (parallel) sessions with another application program or independent logical unit in the same domain or in another domain.
PARSESS=NO
Restricts this application program to one LU-LU session, between itself and another logical unit, at a time. VTAM® uses netnames rather than CIDs if PARSESS=NO.
PARSESS=YES
Allows this application program to have multiple LU-LU sessions between the same session partners.

See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide for a discussion of parallel sessions in a multiple network environment.
