Messages sent to hardcopy log in JES2 system

MCS sends messages with routing codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 10 to the hardcopy log when display consoles are used or more than one console is active. All other messages can be routed to the hard-copy log by a system option or a VARY HARDCPY operator command.

Hexadecimal:      4          2           0             C
Binary:        0 1 0 0    0 0 1 0    0  0  0  0    1  1  0  0
