Notes:
  1. On the CDRM definition statement, SSCPORD will default to the value coded on the preceding NETWORK statement.

Specifies whether VTAM® searches an adjacent SSCP table in priority order, in the order in which the table is defined, or in the order specified on the SSCPORD start option.

Tip: When coded on a NETWORK statement, the SSCPORD value sifts down to all CDRM statements under that NETWORK statement (unless SSCPORD is overridden on one or more of the CDRM statements).

SSCPORD=DEFINED
Specifies that VTAM searches the adjacent SSCP table in the same order that SSCPs are listed, if past session initiation attempts were successful, with the exception that the owner, if identified, is tried first.
SSCPORD=PRIORITY
Specifies that VTAM gives preference to SSCPs it uses. The search order is as follows:
  1. The CDRM that owns the resource (if identified).
  2. The SSCPs for which the most recent session-initiation attempt succeeded.
  3. The SSCPs for which no session-initiation attempt has been made.
  4. The SSCPs for which the last session-initiation attempt failed.
SSCPORD=STARTOPT
Specifies that VTAM should use the current value of the SSCPORD start option for this ADJSSCP table each time it is chosen for searching. This value can be used on CDRM statements to override the sift down value from the preceding NETWORK statement. When coded on a NETWORK statement, this value works the same way as when SSCPORD= is not coded on the NETWORK statement.
