For more information about these commands, see z/OS JES2 Commands.

consolid

Specifies the console (or console and area) to which JES2 sends the response to the redirected command. The consolid can be specified in one of the following formats:

a

Specifies a display area on the entry console.

hh

Specifies the 1- or 2-digit decimal console identifier.

hha

Specifies the 1- or 2-digit decimal console identifier (hh) and a display area of that console (a).

xxxxxxxx

Specifies the 2- to 8-character symbolic name of a console.

xxxxxxxx-a

Specifies the 2- to 8-character symbolic name of a console (xxxxxxxx) and a 1-character identifier for a display area of that console (a).

Figure 1 shows examples of valid console ids.

 1          --   MVS console with ID 1
 D          --   Area "D" of the entry console
 23B        --   Area "B" of MVS console 23
 PRTPOOL1   --   MVS console with symbolic name PRTPOOL1
 PRTPOOL1-C --   Area "C" of console with symbolic name PRTPOOL1

z/OS MVS Planning: Operations explains how to plan your installation's console configuration.

If you do not specify this statement at initialization, JES2 directs all command responses to an area of the command entry console as specified in the RDIRAREA= parameter of the CONDEF initialization statement.

Modification: $T REDIRect operator command, to modify redirection for a command already named on a REDIRect(vvvvvvvv) initialization statement. However, if a REDIRect(vvvvvvvvv) does not exist for a particular console and you want to direct responses to display commands elsewhere, you must issue the $ADD REDIRect command with the appropriate parameters.
