Yes, it did go to HARDCPY in the CONSOLnn member. Which is set to SYSLOG. Which is a SPOOL dataset. Which really means that these messages are kept somewhere until JES comes up. Which it would not do until I fixed the BPXPRMnn member, or specified a new set. Which is what I did. Then JES came up. The I could get into SDSF to look at the SYSLOG. In the deep past, the HARDCPY could actually be assign to a 3287 printer and the messages seen right then and there. But when NIP was waiting for my reply, I could not see what was wrong so that I could fix it. I guess these messages were written with a WTL macro instead of a WTO. Or something. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
