.-PPOLOG--=--NO------. >>-+--------------------+-------------------------------------->< '-PPOLOG--=--+-NO--+-' '-YES-'
Specifies how much information is to be recorded in the
primary program operator (PPO) log. When a PPO is running, the following
events are always recorded in the PPO log:
- Commands issued by the program operator.
- Messages issued by VTAM® in response to those commands.
- Unsolicited VTAM messages (for example, messages pertaining to alerts).
Note: When the NetView® program
is running, it is always the PPO.
The PPOLOG start option allows you to record the following
additional events in the PPO log:
- Commands entered at the system console.
- Messages issued by VTAM in response to those commands.
PPOLOG is supported by the NetView program. It should be used only if the PPO can support the option.
You can change the value of PPOLOG with the MODIFY VTAMOPTS
command or the MODIFY PPOLOG command while VTAM is running.
- PPOLOG=NO
- Specifies that VTAM commands entered at the system console and messages VTAM issues in response are not recorded in the PPO log.
- PPOLOG=YES
- Specifies that all VTAM commands
entered at the system console (except START and HALT) and all messages VTAM issues in response are recorded
in the PPO log. Note: Messages that are suppressed by the MODIFY SUPP command or by the SUPP start option are recorded in the PPO log, but do not appear on the system console. However, if multiple console support (MCS) is included in the system, all suppressed messages, originally destined for an MVS™ console, are sent to the hardcopy log.
