The documentation does not mean what you think it means.
The use of 0 just means that you MAY define a layer with
no networks in it. It is like a placeholder. I find it useful to
define the whole heirarchy at the top of the file using placeholders
followed by other records that define the addresses.
The use of the 0 network as a placeholder does not appear to use
any special programming, it is just handled as a regular network entry
for network 0.*.*.* , and in some networks, where there are unnumbered
interfaces, you could end up with unwanted zero networks in those
location submaps. I have had good luck using '255' as the
placeholder in those cases. I think the idea is just to choose a
non-existent network to act as a placeholder.

Netview for AIX 7.1.1 - AIX 4.3.3
Hi all,
I have following statements in my location.conf:
BAROCC 0 City
BABackbone 0 Site3 BAROCC
BIBackbone 0 Site3 BIROCC
CHBackbone 0 Site3 CHROCC
BA-ROCC-10Nets 10.1.240.0 Site3 BABackbone
BA-ROCC-10Nets 10.1.32.0 Site3 BABackbone
BABackbone 10.108.0.0 City BAROCC
BABackbone 10.108.112.0 City BAROCC
Netveiw documentation tells me that if I use 0 in AddressPattern field (as
I
have in my symbol BABackbone), then no networks should exist under this
symbol. As can be seen from the above statements, I am specifying
10.108.0.0
and 10.108.112.0 networks under this symbol. This should not work if my
interpretation of the Netview documentation is correct. I am unable to
verify this as my map is almost unreadable and undecipherable. So my
questions are: Would this work? If not, can I replace the 0 in
AddressPattern with something else so I am able to specify networks as well
as sub-symbols / sub-containers? Thanks.
Cheers,
