However, this may be prohibitted by RESOLVER configuration statement 
GLOBALTCPIPDATA which will force a set of non-overridable TCPDATA defs.
The stack will still go through that "standard" search, but anything trying
to override the values in the GLOBALTCPIPDATA dataset will be ignored.
And if you supply a GLOBALTCPIPDATA, RESOLVER configuration defs *must*
be included there or they will take the IBM defaults.  Those non-
overridable statements are
   DomainOrigin/Domain   
   NSInterAddr/NameServer  
   NSPortAddr – ResolveVia  
   ResolverTimeOut  
   ResolverUDPRetries   
   Search   
   SortList 
If GLOBALTCPIPDATA is included in your implementation, there is no way 
to override the list of name servers.  And if
   LOOKUP DNS
is also included in GLOBALTCPIPDATA your local host files will not be 
read.  (Most shops will probably have the default LOOKUP DNS LOCAL
which uses the host files if the search of name servers was
unproductive.)
