The COMCHECK UCME subcommand gives the status of an MCS, SMCS, or a subsystem console at the time of the dump.
It formats the unit control module individual device entries (UCME).
To obtain the status for an MCS or SMCS console, you must first
find the address of its associated UCME. Use COMCHECK UCME(LIST) to
find the addresses of all UCMEs in the dump. Choose an address from
the list and use COMCHECK UCME(address) to format
the UCME at that address.
If you want to view the status of all MCS or SMCS consoles in the
dump, use COMCHECK UCME(ALL).
The following is an example of a report generated with COMCHECK
