You can take the following steps on the DEFAULT statement:
- Define the default routing codes for unsolicited WTO and WTOR
messages that have no routing codes, no descriptor codes, and no console
ids assigned.
- Define whether operators must log on to the system
before issuing commands from MCS, SMCS, or HMCS consoles.
- Specify whether you want hold mode for consoles.
- Specify the maximum value of a reply ID in the sysplex.
- Define a console group to receive synchronous WTO or WTOR messages
that the system issues.
The DEFAULT statement is optional. If you specify DEFAULT,
you can have only one DEFAULT statement in a CONSOLxx member. See Syntax and Parameters of the DEFAULT statement.
If you do not code the DEFAULT statement, the system
assigns routing codes 1 through 16 to messages that have no other
routing attributes, and MCS and HMCS consoles do not require LOGON.
SMCS consoles will require logon.
