Displaying information about console characteristics

To learn the current characteristics of the console, use the DISPLAY CONSOLES command. The output is message CNZ4100I, which contains information about the system’s use of consoles as well as information about each console’s characteristics. Figure 1 shows the output of the command.

In the example, the command is to display all consoles that accept messages with a routing code of 5. FRED and WILMA are active consoles on SY2 that match the specified criteria. Their console information is displayed in the command output. BARNEY is a console that is not active, but it does accept messages with a routing code of 5 on all systems. Therefore, the command output only displays BARNEY’s type, status, all systems on which it is defined, and all systems where it matched the specified criteria. BETTY is active on SY1 and does not accept messages with a routing code of 5 on SY1, but it does accept them on other systems where it is not active. Therefore, the command output only displays the same summarized information as BARNEY.

Note: To display the console information associated with BARNEY for each system where he accepts messages with a routing code of 5, include the FULL keyword.
