Dave and Mike In an attempt to leave the topic in a "clean" state, I need to try again! In narrative terms, the choices are the following regarding the NODETYPE, HOSTSA and SACONNS start options: - subarea node with subarea=1, specify none of the above start options[a] - subarea node with suba

Group, I have been reviewing the Enterprise Extender Implementation guide (SG24-7359) in Chapter 3 it talks about HOSTSA and SACONNS. It says "For better manageability we recommend defining or keeping a unique subarea number using HOSTSA, and running VTAM as a pure EN/NN by coding SACONNS=N
