HARDCOPY statement

You can take the following steps using the HARDCOPY statement:
  • Specify whether the hardcopy medium active at initialization is SYSLOG, OPERLOG or both
  • Specify the routing codes for messages to be included in the hardcopy message set
  • Specify the kinds of messages (commands, responses or status display) to be included in the hardcopy message set
  • Specify whether hardcopy records should have a 4-digit year
The HARDCOPY statement is optional. If you do not specify HARDCOPY, the system uses SYSLOG as the hardcopy medium. You can have only one HARDCOPY statement in a CONSOLxx member. See Syntax and parameters for the HARDCOPY statement.

For more information about the hardcopy message set, see z/OS MVS Planning: Operations.
