CNZ_Syscons_Routcode

Description:

Ensures that the system console is receiving the minimum set of routing codes (1, 2 and 10).

Reason for check:

The system console should be configured to receive, at a minimum, routing codes 1, 2, and 10. This is to ensure that the system console receives all important messages.

z/OS® releases the check applies to:

z/OS V1R4 and later.

User override of IBM values:

The following sample shows the defaults for customizable values for this check. Use this sample to make permanent check customizations in an HZSPRMxx parmlib member used at IBM Health Checker for z/OS startup. If you just want a one-time only update to the check defaults, omit the first line (ADDREPLACE POLICY) and use the UPDATE statement on a MODIFY hzsproc command. Note that using non-POLICY UPDATEs in HZSPRMxx can lead to unexpected results and is therefore not recommended. End of change
