Use the CONSTD statement to define standards for your console configuration. These standards include JES3 command prefix characters and hardcopy log configuration. JES3 no longer supports the special console EDIT= characters. However, JES3 supports the MVS™ command delimiter specified by the CMDDELIM keyword on the INIT statement in SYS1.PARMLIB(CONSOLxx) in one of the following conditions:

• When the MVS command delimiter is used in disk reader commands.
• When the MVS command delimiter is used in commands entered using the JES3 INTERCOM macro.
