The FQCN_NAME parameter specifies the name of the virtual network node through which sessions appear to be routed between two nodes in the same connection network. Two nodes participating in the same connection network must specify the same connection network name.

This parameter is required.

The fully qualified connection network name is a 17-byte character string. The fully qualified connection network name consists of two parts: the network name and the virtual CP name, concatenated with a period. The network name is a 1- to 8-byte SNA Type A character string. The virtual CP name is a 1- to 8-byte SNA Type A character string. The fully qualified CP name is also known as the network qualified CP name.

Valid characters are:
  • The first character must be an uppercase alphabetic character (A–Z) or a special character (@, #, $).
  • The remaining characters can be alphanumeric characters (A–Z, 0–9) or special characters (@, #, $).
