Notes:
  1. BNORD is meaningful only if the BN=YES start option is also used.

Specifies the order in which VTAM® will perform cross-subnet searches.

You can change the value of BNORD with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command while VTAM is running.
BNORD=DEFINED
Specifies that searches are done in the order that you define border nodes and nonnative network nodes.
Note: BNORD=DEFINED only applies to defined routing entries. Dynamic entries are reordered in priority order and placed after all defined entries.
BNORD=PRIORITY
Specifies that search preference is given to nodes for which the most recent search was successful and to nodes whose NETID matches the DLU's NETID.
