Route codes

Console messages can be sent to a number of console types. The type of console to which a particular message is sent is determined by the MVS route code. Each route code maps onto one console type. The meanings of the route codes that are normally used by CICS® are as follows:
Code
Meaning
1
Main console action – indicates a change in system status that requires operator action
2
Main console information – indicates a change in system status (system default)
3
Tape pool status or other tape-related information
4
Direct-access pool status or other related information
5
Tape library information
6
Disk library information
7

8

Note: This route code suppresses the operator’s reply on the screen and on SYSLOG
10

Unless otherwise stated, console messages have the route codes ‘2’ and ‘11’.
