Assign the hardcopy medium by using the VARY command.
Use the HARDCPY operand on the VARY command to assign SYSLOG or
OPERLOG as the hardcopy medium. You can assign both
SYSLOG and OPERLOG as the hardcopy medium by issuing the command separately.
Example:
To specify the hardcopy medium as SYSLOG, issue:
VARY SYSLOG,HARDCPY
The effect of this command lasts only for the duration of the IPL.
To display information about the hardcopy medium, enter:
DISPLAY CONSOLES,HARDCOPY
The resulting display tells you the following information:
- Whether the hardcopy medium is SYSLOG, OPERLOG, or
both
- The criteria that have been defined by the installation for selecting
messages for the hardcopy message set
- The number of messages waiting to be placed on the hardcopy medium
