SNACONTROL AUTODIAL 

Causes an SNA node's auto-dial modem to dial.

Syntax 

SNACONTROL AUTODIAL;NODE=NodeName 

Use 

SNACONTROL AUTODIAL can be issued from a session, a job, a program, or in
break.  Pressing [BREAK] has no effect on this command.

Parameter 

NodeName            Conditionally required.  The name of the active SNA
                    node you want to cause to automatically dial.  The
                    name can be up to eight alphanumeric characters long;
                    the first character must be alphabetic.

                    If only one SNA node is active, this parameter is
                    optional:  If you do not include it, the active node
                    is caused to automatically dial.  If more than one
                    node is active, this parameter is required:  If you
                    do not include it, a list of all configured nodes is
                    displayed, but no node will automatically dial; you
                    can then reissue this command with the appropriate
                    node name.

Description 

SNACONTROL AUTODIAL causes the auto-dial modem configured for an SNA node
to dial.

To use this command, these conditions must exist:

   *   The SNA node must be configured to use an SDLC link:  SDLC must be
       specified in the Link Type field of the "SNA Node Configuration:
       PU Data" screen (see chapter 2).

   *   The SDLC link must be configured to use an auto-dial modem but to
       defer dialing until this command (SNACONTROL AUTODIAL) is issued:
       N must be specified in the Auto Dial field of the "SNA Node
       Configuration:  SDLC Link Data" screen, and a number must be
       specified in the Phone Number field of the same screen (see
       chapter 2).

Note that this command can be issued only after the SNA node has been
started.

Example 

SNACONTROL AUTODIAL;NODE=IBMNODE

The auto-dial modem configured for node IBMNODE is caused to dial.
