Specifies whether VTAM® records subarea BSC inoperative and statistical miscellaneous data records (MDRs) in LOGREC.

Note: If you do not record MDRs, and a problem occurs in a BSC device, problem diagnosis can be difficult because there are no MDRs in LOGREC.
You can change the value of BSCMDRS with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS command while VTAM is running.
BSCMDRS=STATS
Specifies that VTAM will record the BSC statistical MDRs in LOGREC.
BSCMDRS=NOSTATS
Specifies that VTAM will not record BSC statistical MDRs in LOGREC.
BSCMDRS=INOPS
Specifies that VTAM will record the BSC inoperative MDRs in LOGREC.
BSCMDRS=NOINOPS
Specifies that VTAM will not record BSC inoperative MDRs in LOGREC.
