Use the CONTROL V,USE command to change the operating mode of a
console.
The USE parameter on the CONSOLE statement in the CONSOLxx
parmlib member controls the operating mode of a console at IPL. If
the USE parameter is not coded and the console is a display console,
the console’s operating mode is full-capability. Use the K V,USE command
to change the operating mode for MCS consoles. You cannot change the
operating mode for HMCS, SMCS or extended MCS consoles.
The syntax for the CONTROL V command is:
K V[,REF ][,L=name ]
|
|,USE={FC|SD|MS}[,CMDSYS={sysname|*}]
|
The parameters are:
- USE=
- The operating mode of a console is to be changed.
- FC
- The console is to be changed to full-capability mode (input/output
capability).
- SD
- The console is to be changed to output-only for presentation of
status displays.
- MS
- The console is to be changed to output-only for presentation of
messages other than status displays.
Note: - If you issue the VARY command to take the console offline and
then bring the console online, the console will resume the operating
mode in effect when the console was taken offline.
- K V USE=SD and K V USE=MS operating modes are not
valid for HMCS or SMCS consoles.
- REF
- Displays the current value of the CONTROL V,USE operand.
- CMDSYS
- Indicates the system where all commands will be sent for processing.
- sysname
- The system where all commands are to be sent. If this keyword
is not specified or is incorrect, the commands are processed on the
system where you issue the command.
- *
- The system where you issue the command.
- L= name
- The name of the console where the specified action is to take
place.
Note: The CONTROL V,USE command has no effect on extended MCS consoles
or on system consoles and is not valid for managing these consoles.
Example:
To direct all commands issued from this console to processor SY2,
enter:
K V,CMDSYS=SY2
