The HARDCOPY statement in the CONSOLxx member

Table 1 describes each VARY HARDCPY command operand, the corresponding parameter in CONSOLxx parmlib member, and the task the command and parameter performs. The value in parentheses indicates the default. All HARDCOPY parameters can be changed using the SET CON= command.

Table 1. Comparison of VARY HARDCPY commands and HARDCOPY statements in CONSOLxx
VARY HARDCPY Command Parameters	Parameters on HARDCOPY Statement	Description
SYSLOG or OPERLOG	DEVNUM	Establishes whether the hardcopy medium is SYSLOG or OPERLOG
ROUT	ROUTCODE	Establishes the routing codes for messages included in the hardcopy message set
NOCMDS, INCMDS, STCMDS, or CMDS	CMDLEVEL	Establishes whether the hardcopy message set includes operator commands, responses, or status displays

The HARDCOPY statement is optional; CONSOLxx contains only one statement for each system. If the HARDCOPY default is used, the system uses the following defaults:

The hardcopy medium is SYSLOG.
The system uses a minimum set of routing codes (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, and 42) to select messages for the hardcopy message set.
CMDLEVEL(CMDS) is used to select the level of commands included in the hardcopy message set.
