FEPI INSTALL NODELIST defines new nodes to FEPI. You may specify initial
service and acquire states for these new nodes. A node cannot be used for
a conversation until it has been acquired, put in service, and added to a
pool so that it is connected to a target. The command completes when the
nodes have been defined without waiting for the requested states to be achieved.

- ACQSTATUS(cvda)
- specifies the initial acquire state of the nodes being defined. All
nodes in the list have the same state. The relevant CVDA values are:
- ACQUIRED
- The VTAM® ACB for the node is to be opened and ‘set logon start’ is
to be done.
- RELEASED
- The VTAM ACB for the node is not to be opened.
- NODELIST(data-area)
- specifies a contiguous array of 8-character node names (that is, VTAM
application minor node names in the front-end) to be defined. Names must
not contain null characters (X'00'), leading blanks, or embedded blanks.
- NODENUM(fullword binary data-value)
- specifies the number of names in NODELIST, in the range 1-256.
- PASSWORDLIST(data-value)
- specifies a contiguous array of 8-character passwords. They correspond
one-to-one with the node names in NODELIST. The passwords are those that
VTAM requires to access the application minor nodes. They are not required
if passwords are not used. You can use a value of 8 null characters (X'00') to indicate ‘no password’.
- SERVSTATUS(cvda)
- specifies the initial service state of the nodes being defined. All
nodes in the list have the same state. The relevant CVDA values are:
- INSERVICE
- The nodes are in service and can be used in a conversation.
- OUTSERVICE
- The nodes are out of service and cannot be used for any conversation.
