Specifies whether an options list for the session is to be printed at the operator console at the start of the session. If you specify OPTIONS, you can respond with any desired changes, except the MEMBER option, from the operator console.

To avoid unnecessary console output and delay in starting the session, specify NOOPTIONS. However, if RMF™ detects any syntax errors while processing session options, OPTIONS is forced.

Figure 1 shows a console output with the Monitor I option OPTIONS in effect. For each option, this console output shows the source where the option has been set, for example, -- COMMAND means that the option has been set using a START or MODIFY command.

Table 1 explains all possible sources which may appear in a console output.
