Well, I tried the COMMAND statement but I don't think it works for my 5.2 system. I wanted to use an existing service machine that uses WAKEUP but if I need to use PROP then I'll do that as a last resort.

With the COMMAND statement you will indeed "see" the logon error messages in the console log, but the VM initialization is not complete enough to trap the responses. PROP (the Programmable Operator Facility) was suggested by others. IMHO a good suggestion. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

I have several z/VSE machines which are XAUTOLOGed on by the operator. Reason? In rare instances, maybe a pack is not attached to the system which contains some minidisks used by these machines. I know there could be a message such as: HCPLNM108E MIKE A194 not linked; volid XT160D not mounted For a test I have changed a virtual machine CONSOLE statement in its directory to CONSOLE 009 T MIKE OBS and I get all messages after the user logs on. I would like to programmatically trap these messages from a disconnected service machine so that it can be detected. Tried WAKEUP but no luck. Suggestions?
