Reference
For complete
information about CONSOLxx and any parmlib member, see z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.
It provides reference information, options, and values that you
can specify for CONSOLxx and other parmlib members. When you define
your console configuration for MVS™,
refer to it to code your members.
To define your MCS,
HMCS and SMCS
console configuration, you use the following parmlib members:
- CONSOLxx, which defines console characteristics for each MCS, HMCS or SMCS console.
- CNGRPxx, which defines groups.
- PFKTABxx, which contains the program function key PFK tables for
all MCS, HMCS and SMCS consoles. (For information
on PFKTABxx, see Defining PFKs and other command controls for consoles.)
- MPFLSTxx, which defines message processing to retain, suppress,
or modify messages and commands. (For information on MPFLSTxx, see MPF and MVS operations planning.)
- MSGFLDxx which defines message flood automation
policy. (For more information on MSGFLDxx, see Message flooding.)
CONSOLxx lets you define certain devices as consoles
and specify attributes that determine how your operators can use MCS, HMCS or SMCS consoles.
CONSOLxx contains four statements that define and control consoles
for an MVS system:
- CONSOLE
- INIT
- DEFAULT
- HARDCOPY
See SMCS console considerations for specific
information about defining SMCS consoles.
