see <a href="#HDRRECVARP">Format of Data Returned</a>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Length of receiver variable</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>The length of the receiver variable described in <a href="#HDRRECVARP">

bytes.</p>

<p>The total number of network attributes to be retrieved.</p>

<br>
<h3><a name="HDRRECVARP">Format of Data Returned</a></h3>
<p>The receiver variable holds the information returned about each network
attribute.</p>
<p>The receiver variable has three logical parts:</p>
<ol>
<li>The first field specifies the number of network attributes returned.</li>
<li>The next fields give the offsets to the network attributes returned. There
is one offset field for each network attribute returned.</li>
<li>Next are the network attribute information tables for the network
attributes returned. There is one network attribute information table for each
network attribute.</li>
</ol>
The following table shows the format of the receiver variable. The offset
fields are repeated until the offsets for all the network attributes returned
are listed; the network attribute information table for each network attribute
is repeated in the same way. For a detailed description of each field, see the
<a href="#HDRNETFLDW">Field Descriptions</a>.
<p>The format of the receiver variable is:</p>
<table border width="80%">

information table described in <a href="#HDRNATTTAB">Network Attribute

</table>
<p>To determine the length of the receiver variable, the following calculation
should be done. For each network attribute to be returned, get the length of
the data returned for the network attribute and add 24. After adding the values
for each network attribute, add 4. This calculation takes into account the data
alignment that needs to be done; therefore, this value is a worst-case
estimate.</p>

*BEXNODE.</p>
<p><strong>Alert backup focal point.</strong> Identifies the system that
provides alert focal point services if the local system is unavailable and
ALRPRIFP is *YES. The backup focal point is only used by systems in the primary
sphere of control. The first eight characters are the control point name and
the last eight characters are the network ID. *NONE means no backup focal point
is defined.</p>
<p><strong>Alert controller.</strong> The name of the controller to be used for
alerts in a system service control point - physical unit (SSCP-PU) session.
This controller is ignored if the system has a focal point (in which case the
node is in another system's sphere of control). *NONE means no alert controller
is defined.</p>
<p><strong>Alert filter.</strong> The name of the filter object that is used by
the alert manager when processing alerts. *NONE means no alert filter is being
used. The first ten characters are the filter name and the last ten characters

<p><strong>Alert hold count.</strong> The maximum number of alerts to be
created before the alerts are sent over the System Service Control Point -
Physical Unit (SSCP-PU) session. Alerts are held by the system until this

on displays.</p>
<p><strong>Data compression.</strong> Whether data compression is used when the
system is an SNA end node (the node containing either a primary or secondary
LU). This field is used by mode descriptions that specify *NETATR for data
compression. The following values are valid:</p>
<table cellpadding="5">

<td align="left" valign="top"><em>-1</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">Data compression is requested on the session by
the local system. However, the request can be refused or changed to a lower
compression level by the remote system. Data compression is allowed on the
session if requested by the remote system.</td>

<td align="left" valign="top">Data compression is required on the session. If
the remote system does not change the levels of compression to the local
