Well, George, it's set the way you want it, at that moment in time. But that's only set once the OPERATOR virtual machine has been constructed in compliance with the CP Directory statements defining its parameters, it has logged on, IPLed CMS, and run through the PROFILE EXEC through the point of executing that 'CP TERM HOLD OFF MORE 0 0'.
Sidebar: "TERM" is an abbreviation, better to spell out all commands in EXECs fully, in this case as: 'CP TERMINAL HOLD OFF MORE 0 0' REXX performs marginally better when all commands are quoted, uppercased, and fully spelled out (no abbrevs). But mostly, if you do that as a matter of course and ever have to scan MDISKs for all references to a particular command, the search is dramatically reduced if abbreviations don't have to be scanned for! I'd try placing the command in the directory entry of "OPERATOR" as others have mentioned before. That reduces, but does not totally eliminate, the narrow time window between the IPL messages being displayed and OPERATOR getting logged on and entering that command. Would you mind copy/pasting the IPL messages from the very first one through where OPERATOR gets logged on, maybe just a little more, too? And... what model 3270 emulator terminal is being used for OPERATOR? E.g. a MOD2, MOD3, MOD4, MOD5, or some other? If "other", how many lines does that terminal display?

Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of George Henke/NYLIC Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 2:56 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Streamlining the IPL Everything looks good except for 'MORE" processing. Although the OPERATOR screen does not got to "HOLD", it waits the default 50 seconds before scrolling to the next screen. It seems to be ignoring the first 0 in TERM MORE 0 0 Whether I use 2 TERM commands or 1 the result is the same. From OPERATOR's PROFILE EXEC: Address Command 'SYNONYM SYN' 'CP TERMINAL MODE VM' 'CP SPOOL CONSOLE * START' 'CP SET RUN ON' 'CP TERM HOLD OFF MORE 0 0' 'CP SET PF11 RETRIEVE FORWARD' 'CP SET PF12 RETRIEVE BACKWARD' 'CP SET PF23 RETRIEVE FORWARD' 'CP SET PF24 RETRIEVE BACKWARD' Is the SET RUN ON perhaps interfering? It should be noted this is a PoC at Level 2 Perhaps this difference in behavior is connected with that. Or is this how it is supposed to work?.

To get CP to automatically IPL with no operator prompts for what kind of IPL to do and to set the date and time, add the following to the FEATURES statement in the production SYSTEM CONFIG file: ENABle AUTO_WARM_IPL, To have the TERM MORE 0 0 and TERM HOLD OFF commands automatically be issued at IPL time, you can either: 1) have the OPERATOR user id IPL CMS (with PARM AUTOCR specified) and then have the PROFILE EXEC file issue the CP TERM commands, or 2) add the COMMAND directory control statement to OPERATOR's user directory entry like so: COMMAND TERM MORE 0 0 COMMAND TERM HOLD OFF if you do not want OPERATOR running CMS. Have a good one.
