Displaying information about messages awaiting action

The DISPLAY R command allows an operator to display all outstanding action messages or a subset of these messages. For example, to display all the outstanding action messages at a console, an operator enters DISPLAY R,M; to display all the outstanding critical eventual action messages (descriptor code 11), an operator can enter DISPLAY R,CE.

In a sysplex, the best way to describe how to use the DISPLAY R command is through an example. Assume a sysplex has the following identifiers:

SY1: System 1 in the sysplex
SY2: System 2 in the sysplex
SY3: System 3 in the sysplex
CON1: MCS master authority console attached to SY1
ACCT: MCS console attached to SY2
MSGS: MCS console attached to SY3
TAPE: MCS console attached to SY1. The console is controlling the tape library and has an MSCOPE(*) specified. MSCOPE(*) limits the messages the console receives to SY1, the system to which it is locally attached.

The example assumes that the AMRF is active on all systems in the sysplex.

Operators can do the following:

To see the texts and identification numbers of all outstanding action messages and WTORs destined for CON1, enter the following command at CON1:
```
DISPLAY R,M
```
To learn the number of outstanding action messages whose routing codes match those assigned to CON1, enter the following command at CON1:
```
DISPLAY R,ROUT=ALL
```
The message includes the total of outstanding action messages for all systems in the sysplex (SY1, SY2, and SY3) that are routed to CON1.
To see all outstanding action messages in the sysplex, enter the following command at CON1, ACCT, or MSGS.
```
DISPLAY R,M,CN=(ALL)
```
The message includes the total of outstanding action messages for all systems in the sysplex (SY1, SY2, and SY3). AMRF has sysplex scope; if another system joins the sysplex, the action message retention facility is active no matter what is specified for AMRF on the INIT statement in CONSOLxx for that system.
To see all outstanding action messages for the local application running on SY1, enter the following command on TAPE:
```
DISPLAY R,M
```
MSCOPE limits the message information in the sysplex that TAPE receives to SY1.
