Parameter in IEASYSxx (or supplied by the operator)

CON=  {aa}
      {(aa[,L][,NOJES3])}
      {modespec}
      {NONE}
      {(NONE[,L][,NOJES3][,modespec])}
      {NOJES3}
      {(NOJES3[,modespec])}

The two alphanumeric characters (aa) are appended to CONSOL to form the name of the CONSOLxx member of Parmlib. If you specify the L option in IEASYSxx, or in reply to the ‘SPECIFY SYSTEM PARAMETERS’ message, the system lists (displays) on the operator's console, all of the statements that are in the CONSOLxx member. If CON=NONE is specified, the system is initialized with the IBM® defaults for the values in CONSOLxx.

Specify the NOJES3 option if JES3 is installed on your system, but is not to be used. For systems that have both JES2 and JES3 installed, but run only JES2, the NOJES3 option allows you to omit the comma separating the REPLY ID from the command text when using short form replies to responding to system requests.

The value for the console support mode option modespec is either DISTRIBUTED or SHARED. The default value is DISTRIBUTED.
