Application-supplied operands for switched connections

A physical unit is authorized to accept application-supplied dial-out information by using the ASDP operand on the PU definition statement of the switched major node.

In the sample switched major node that follows, physical unit SWCH0404 is authorized to accept application-supplied dial-out parameters (ASDP=YES).

The DIALNO operand in the PATH definition statement is required, but with ASDP=YES an application can supply its own dial number digits, overriding the number specified on DIALNO.

For a sample application program major node that is authorized to supply dial-out information, see Figure 1.
