You can do that, sure, but you'll need to add an extra HOME and DEVICE/LINK pair to PROFILE TCPIP in order to provide the fallback you were looking for. > Since neatness counts, though, I would think it preferable to just get rid of > all the attaches from the TCPIP PROFILE EXEC and put them in either TCPIP > DIRECTORY or DTCPARMS. But you can still do the ATTACHes yourself in an exec. Just don't use PROFILE EXEC; use the :Exit tag or TCPRUNXT EXEC instead.
