Specifies whether a line or PU is to be activated after the first activation of the external communication adapter major node.
ISTATUS=ACTIVE
Specifies that the line or PU becomes active when its major node becomes active.
ISTATUS=INACTIVE
Specifies that the line or PU remains inactive until the operator activates it.

The operator can override this value by specifying the SCOPE operand on the VARY ACT command when the major node is activated. See z/OS Communications Server: SNA Operation for information about using the VARY ACT command.
