Defining installation defaults for the CONSOLE command

You can use SYS1.PARMLIB member IKJTSOxx to define message processing defaults for the CONSOLE command and its services. IKJTSOxx contains a CONSOLE statement you can use to:

Specify an initial limit for the number of unsolicited messages to be routed to a user's console without being retrieved or displayed
Specify an initial limit for the number of solicited messages to be routed to a user's console without being retrieved or displayed
Specify the maximum number of unsolicited messages to be routed to a user's console without being retrieved or displayed
Specify the maximum number of solicited messages to be routed to a user's console without being retrieved or displayed

TSO/E provides a sample IKJTSO00 member in SYS1.SAMPLIB. To define installation defaults in IKJTSOxx, do the following:

If you have not already done so, copy sample member IKJTSO00 from SYS1.SAMPLIB to SYS1.PARMLIB. You may have already copied IKJTSO00 to define other installation defaults.
Create alternative members in SYS1.PARMLIB using the IKJTSOxx naming convention
Edit the member in SYS1.PARMLIB and locate the CONSOLE PARMLIB statement
Specify the operands for your installation's requirements

You can make the CONSOLE defaults in IKJTSOxx take effect immediately using the PARMLIB command. You can also use the PARMLIB command to list the current CONSOLE defaults and to check the syntax of any IKJTSOxx member. For more information about using the PARMLIB command, see .

The operands for the CONSOLE PARMLIB statement are:

INITUNUM
INITSNUM
MAXUNUM
MAXSNUM

For information about these operands, see .
