Hi Bruce, Thanks. I tried CNSLSYSG but no luck with that either.
Pressing "ENTER" to get the attention of DSF is likewise "not easy". When PF10 is pressed to LOAD, that causes the X WAIT status on SYSG. ENTER can't be pressed until SYSG is ready for input. I tried pressing RESET then CLEAR, and RESET then ENTER - but neither yielded the DSF startup messages. :( -Mike -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Bruce Hayden Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 1:58 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: ICKSADSF Parms I think you want CNSLSYSG. ("CNSL" must be the first 4 chars of the loadparm.)
