Unless you specify otherwise, the system includes
all operator and system commands, responses, and status displays in
the hardcopy message set. To request that some commands and command
responses not be included in the hardcopy message set, the system
gives you the following choices on the VARY ,HARDCPY command:
- NOCMDS
- The system does not include operator commands or their responses
in the hardcopy message set.
- INCMDS
- The system includes all operator commands and their responses,
excluding any status displays, in the hardcopy message set.
- STCMDS or CMDS
- The system includes all operator and system commands, their
responses, and status displays in the hardcopy message set. As of z/OS® V1R8, STCMDS and CMDS are equivalent.
To see which commands and command responses the system includes
in the hardcopy message set, issue the DISPLAY CONSOLES command. Figure 1 shows the display that appears in response
to this command.
Note:
You control which commands and command responses
are included in the hardcopy message set by:

Use the VARY ,HARDCPY
command to change the commands or the command responses that are included
in the hardcopy message set.
Example:

and responses except status displays, enter:

The effect of this command lasts only for the duration of the IPL.
