Keeping a Hardcopy Log

You can define, on the HARDCOPY statement of a CONSOLxx parmlib member, a hardcopy log that provides a permanent record of ASCHPMxx parmlib activity. For information about defining the hardcopy log, see z/OS MVS Planning: Operations.

To list the contents of each activated parmlib member to the operator console and to the hardcopy log, include the LIST option on the START and SET commands. For example, when starting ASCH using parmlib member ASCHPM1S, issue the START command as follows:

   START ASCH,SUB=MSTR,ASCH=(1S,L)

When changing the configuration with parmlib member ASCHPM1M and ASCHPM3D, issue the SET command with the LIST option as follows:

   SET ASCH=(1M,3D,L)

This command displays the contents of both ASCHPM1M and ASCHPM3D on the console screen and stores the information in the hardcopy log.
