Selecting commands and command responses for the hardcopy message set
Unless you specify otherwise, the system includes
all operator and system commands, responses, and status displays in
the hardcopy message set. To request that some commands and command
responses not be included in the hardcopy message set, the system
gives you the following choices on the VARY ,HARDCPY command:
- NOCMDS
- The system does not include operator commands or their responses in the hardcopy message set.
- INCMDS
- The system includes all operator commands and their responses, excluding any status displays, in the hardcopy message set.
- STCMDS or CMDS
- The system includes all operator and system commands, their responses, and status displays in the hardcopy message set. As of z/OS® V1R8, STCMDS and CMDS are equivalent.
To see which commands and command responses the system includes in the hardcopy message set, issue the DISPLAY CONSOLES command. Figure 1 shows the display that appears in response to this command.
Note:
You control which commands and command responses
are included in the hardcopy message set by:
- Using the VARY command:
Use the VARY ,HARDCPY command to change the commands or the command responses that are included in the hardcopy message set.
Example:
To request that the hardcopy message set include all operator commands and responses except status displays, enter:VARY ,HARDCPY,INCMDS
The effect of this command lasts only for the duration of the IPL.
