 Can I have IPV4 and IPV6 interfaces using the same OSA?

The doc implies you can.  Using SNA Network Implementation Guide   3.2 page 159 gives definitions for IPV4 and  IPV6 but they do not work (togther).
I found ( hidden away  ) I need DATAPATH=(0406,407)   two values.
following the doc I get 
THE DEFINITION OF INTERFACE JFPORTCPA ON LINE 1 DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE RULES FOR MULTIPLE VLANS  
INTERFACE JFPORTCPA DEFINITION NOT ALLOWED - NO VLAN ID FOR AN EARLIER DEFINITION                 

The samples do not have VLANID in them.

Please can someone post the
VBUILD TYPE=TRL     and the
INTERFACE WIRE 
   DEFINE IPAQENET ...
INTERFACE JFPORTCPA 
    DEFINE IPAQENET6 

statements

Thank you

Colin

The problems I was experiencing was due to DATAPATH problems.

Now I have

SATRL2E TRLE LNCTL=MPC,READ=(0404),WRITE=(0405),DATAPATH=(0406,408), 
              PORTNAME=PORTB,                                        
              PORTNUM=1,                                             
              MPCLEVEL=QDIO

where (0406,408)   are now sequential ( they have to be 2 apart ... or possibly even)       

with (0406,0407) it fails for me

If this is a requirement to be even or not adjacent, it feels like a bug, and there should be a better error message than

IST1578I DEVICE INOP DETECTED FOR PORTB BY ISTTSCMA CODE = 104  

EZZ4338I ERROR REPORTED ON INTERFACE JFPORTCPA - CODE 80100040        
DIAGNOSTIC CODE 03
