I've installed z/VM 5.2 and I have this in my GATEWAY statement, and it 
works fine:

  192.168.2.0/24                192.168.50.1    ETH1             8192
  192.168.3.0/24                192.168.50.1    ETH1             8192

This format also works fine:

  192.168.2.0   255.255.255.0   192.168.50.1    ETH1             8192
  192.168.3.0   255.255.255.0   192.168.50.1    ETH1             8192


As an excercise, I thought I could supernet these 2 into 1 like this:

  192.168.2.0   255.255.254.0   192.168.50.1    ETH1             8192

but when I do I get the following error message:

  DTCPAR123I Line 75: Unknown link name in GATEWAY cmd

The message manual says "The message is self-explanatory" and that I 
should "correct the problem" and "assist the operator".  :-)

The link name is "ETH1" in all cases, and "ETH1" is used on other route 
statements prior to this one.

I looked for, but didn't find, any TCPIP parameters that might need to be 
turned on related to CIDR.

What am I overlooking?
