GWN

Provides the 1–8 character name of the gateway NCP that accesses the CDRM. If you code PUNAME in the NCP BUILD definition statement, gateway_ncp_name must match the PUNAME. If you do not code PUNAME, gateway_ncp_name is the name used to file the gateway NCP definition statements.

If you do not code this operand, you must code the SUBAREA operand, because VTAM® uses the SUBAREA operand value to determine which gateway NCP it uses to access the CDRM. It is to your advantage to omit GWN if you use different node names, but the same subarea number, for a gateway NCP. (For example, the NCP might have one name in a test system and another name in a production system.) In that case, VTAM uses the subarea number when it accesses the CDRM, without regard to the node name.
