FEPI SET NODE controls the use of FEPI nodes. Lists may be used to set
more than one node at a time; all nodes in the list are set to the same state.
The function completes immediately, although the requested settings may not
be achieved until later.

'-USERDATA(data-value)-'
- ACQSTATUS(cvda)
- specifies the acquire state of the node; that is, whether its VTAM® ACB should
be opened or closed. The relevant CVDA values are:
- ACQUIRED
- The VTAM ACB for the node is to be opened and ‘set logon start’ is
to be done. The state is ACQUIRING until this is completed.
- RELEASED
- The VTAM ACB for the node is to be closed when usage of the node by
any conversation ends. The state is RELEASING until this is completed.
If this option is not coded, the acquire state is not changed.
- NODE(8-character data-value)
- specifies the node to be set.
- NODELIST(data-area)
- specifies a contiguous array of 8-character node names to be set.
- NODENUM(fullword binary data-value)
- specifies the number of node names in NODELIST, in the range 1-256.
- SERVSTATUS(cvda)
- specifies the service state of the node; that is, whether the node can
be used for a conversation or not. The relevant CVDA values are:
- INSERVICE
- Allows usage of the node in a conversation.
- OUTSERVICE
- Stops usage of a node for any new conversation, although existing conversations
are unaffected. The service state is GOINGOUT until these conversations
end.
If this option is not coded, the service state is not changed.
- USERDATA(64-character data-value)
- Specifies optional user data relating to the nodes; it is not used by
FEPI. It replaces any previous user data that was set.
