Is there some way I can display the attributes of the ZOS guest console 
from MAINT?

I am still connected to the ZOS guest console.

You can, but it won't help, as CMS will set it back to a 3215 since CMS 
doesn't know how to speak to a 3270.  When the PROFILE EXEC is ready to 
IPL MVS, it needs to issue "CP TERMINAL CONMODE 3270" immediately prior to 

"IPL".  Add commentary to the exec to tell future sysprogs not to insert 
anything between the two commands.

Since you don't have OPTION D8ONECMD, you can actually do the TERMINAL 
CONMODE 3270 and IPL in the same CP command:
  "CP TERMINAL CONMODE 3270" || x2c(15) || "IPL whatever"

This tends to help avoid accidents.
