Indicates whether a search from an SSCP should be sent to another SSCP, when the SSCPs have matching NETIDs and their only connection is through an APPN network. If the NETIDs match, the coding of the DISJOINT operand determines whether the search is sent.

In effect, coding DISJOINT=NO restricts APPN searches, especially broadcast searches, from entering the subarea network multiple times through different interchange nodes (or even through the same interchange node).
DISJOINT=NO
Indicates that the APPN network should not send the search to the second SSCP.
DISJOINT=YES
Indicates that the APPN network should send the search to the second SSCP.
Note: If the NETIDs of the SSCPs do not match, the search is always sent to the second SSCP, regardless of the coding of the DISJOINT operand.
