Handling messages without routing codes

For queuing messages that have no defined routing codes, descriptor codes, or console destination, you can use DEFAULT ROUTCODE. Use the following keyword on the DEFAULT statement of CONSOLxx for messages that have no routing code information:

ROUTCODE: Defines the routing codes for messages that do not have them.

You can assign any combination of routing codes from 1 through 128. If you specify ROUTCODE(ALL), the system assigns routing codes 1 through 128; if you specify NONE, the system does not assign any routing codes. If you do not code ROUTCODE on the DEFAULT statement, the default for messages without assigned routing codes is the range of routing codes 1 through 16.

IBM® recommends that you do not specify ROUTCODE(ALL) or include routing code 11. Code ROUTCODE with a small number of routing codes so that you do not send these messages to all of your consoles.
