Management Services Verbs
CONNECT_MS_NODE
Chapter 3 51
CONNECT_MS_NODE
This verb connects an application to a SNAplus2 node. It returns a

An application that only sends data using either the
TRANSFER_MS_DATA verb or the SEND_MDS_MU verb and does not
need to receive MS data or status indications does not need to issue this
verb or supply a handle to any subsequent calls to the MS entry points.
