This option applies only to application programs that use the remote VSAM access services of AR/CTL for VSAM.
To provide remote access to VSAM data sets, AR/CTL must set up a connection to CICS regions through MRO. Use this option to specify the SVC number for AR/CTL to use when setting up those connections. This value must correspond to the SVC defined to MVS for CICS; this definition is in an IEASVCxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB library. CICS/ESA uses a Type 3 SVC, which defaults to 216. CICS Version 2.1 uses a Type 2 SVC, which also defaults to 216.
