On the other hand, if you are using a "real" console (e.g., a Tn3270 client connected to an ICC OSA) to watch MVS come up, having timestamps on the messages really helps. That makes it a lot easier to find messages in SYSLOG/OPERLOG later on. (Ok, ok. Finding messages in OPERLOG is not too tough. Finding the specific messages you want to find can be a bit harder.) We do not specify time on MONITOR. Sometimes research problems following an IPL can be a real problem because of that.
