The PROFILE command controls the way your terminal communicates
with TSO/E and with other users.
To see your profile, enter after the READY message:
READY
PROFILE
You then see your profile, which might be similar
to the following one:
IKJ56688I CHAR(0) LINE(0) PROMPT INTERCOM NOPAUSE
MSGID MODE WTPMSG RECOVER PREFIX(TUSER01)
PLANGUAGE(ENU) SLANGUAGE(ENU) VARSTORAGE(HIGH)
IKJ56689I DEFAULT LINE/CHARACTER DELETE CHARACTERS IN EFFECT
FOR THIS TERMINAL
READY
Most likely your profile was preset by a system programmer
at your installation and most of the operands should not be changed.
However, two operands might be of interest to you:
- NOMSGID/MSGID
This operand determines whether you see
a message identifier with a line mode TSO/E message. The message
identifier appears at the beginning of the message and is a way to
reference the message in z/OS TSO/E Messages, SA32-0970.
If
your profile has the NOMSGID operand, a line mode message appears
as follows:
NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE
If your
profile has the MSGID operand, a line mode message is preceded with
a message identifier as follows:
IKJ56760I NO INFORMATION AVAILABLE
To
change your profile, enter the PROFILE command followed by the changed
operand you want in your profile. For example, to change your profile
from NOMSGID to MSGID, enter after the READY message:
READY
PROFILE MSGID
Then when you re-display your profile with
the PROFILE command, you see the changed operand.
- PREFIX
The
PREFIX operand determines the default first qualifier of your data
sets. When you do not specify a first qualifier, TSO/E assumes it
is your prefix. Most profiles have a person's user ID as the prefix.
For
more information about the PROFILE command, see z/OS TSO/E User's Guide, SA32-0971.
