>>-NETID--=--network_id----------------------------------------><

Specifies a 1–8 character network identifier to which the path update specification set applies. This operand is required.

Note: The use of the national character, #, is discouraged, because this character might not be present on keyboards of terminals produced in other countries. Because # might not be available on all terminals, SNA architecture specifically excludes # from the list of valid characters that can be used for defining network identifiers. Although VTAM® allows you to use #, other products might enforce this restriction.

The specified NETID must be identical with the NETID specified in the VTAM START command; otherwise, VTAM ignores the path update specification set.
