Hi all ya'll,
I am beating my head against the wall, and was wondering if anyone had been
down this road before?
Here are snippets of my PMR, with names removed to protect the innocent

> - define path from LM to the library
In this case, TSM_HQ_1 is the library manager for 3494A, TSM_HQ_2 is LM for
3494B, and I am trying to set up the library CLIENT ON TSM_HQ_1 for the
library 3494B.
How do I define the path???
this is the current config:
tsm: TSM_HQ_1>q path f=d

Destination Name: 3494A

ANS8001I Return code 15.
Neither of the DEFINES work. What is the EXACT syntax I should be using in
my environment? (For example, my libtype is not scsi, it is a 349X.
