Rules:
The maximum length is 8 characters.
Each character must be a non-blank printable character; ,;.= (comma, semicolon, period, or equal sign) are not allowed.
The first character must be one of $@# or an alphanumeric; if it is numeric, the name must not be a hexadecimal number.
You need to use OSA/SF to configure the OSA-2 to run in HPDT MPC mode.
The device name must be the name of the TRLE definition that corresponds to the OSA-2 configuration, which may further restrict the set of valid names.
The TRLE is defined in a VTAM TRL major node and must be active to start the device.
For details on defining a TRLE, see the z/OS IBM Communications Server: SNA Resource Definition Reference.
