specifies the first TCP/IP port in a range of ports for a client to use to connect to a server.

Details

To assign the range of ports, assign the first port by using the TCPPORTFIRST= system option and the last port by using the TCPPORTLAST= system option. To restrict the connection to one port, specify the same value for both options. The TCPPORTFIRST= option is valid only in a SAS/CONNECT server session.
