This parameter can only be specified dynamically. It corresponds to the NAME specification of the BPI profile parameter or the NTBPI macro respectively.

The BPNAME profile parameter only applies to the primary Natural global buffer pool (TYPE=NAT, SEQ=0).If there is a primary buffer pool with SEQ=0 in NATPARM, only the NAME setting of this buffer pool is updated. Internally, the BPNAME specification is converted into an equivalent BPI specification.

Example:

BPNAME=GBP1 is converted into: BPI=(TYPE=NAT,SEQ=0,NAME=GBP1)
