Partitions and routing

You cannot route a logical message written to multiple partitions. BMS ignores the OUTPARTN and ACTPARTN options on BMS SEND commands in a routing environment.

You can route an ordinary message to a terminal that supports partitions, but BMS builds the message and the CSPG transaction displays it using the terminal in base (unpartitioned) state.

You also cannot use partitions and logical device codes together (LDCs are described in Logical device components). In addition, you cannot use partitions in combination with GDDM, although you can use partitions with outboard formats (see Outboard formatting).
