Appendix C: SNA LU 6.2 Support

This appendix details how the SNAP-IX implementation of APPC relates to the LU 6.2 architecture. It includes the following information:

C.1 LU 6.2 Option Set Support

SNAP-IX APPC supports the base set of LU 6.2 functions, and a selection of the option sets. Some of these option sets are supported by APPC verbs; others are supported by the administration tools or by the NOF API.

The following tables list the option sets supported by SNAP-IX, with the option set reference number specified in IBM's Transaction Programmer's Reference Manual for LU Type 6.2. (Earlier versions of this IBM manual used different reference numbers.)
