Could you please be more explicit about the message you did see, and possibly about the messages you eventually found in the hardcopy log (SYSLOG)?
You wrote >But when NIP was waiting for my reply, I could not see what was wrong so that I could fix it What message was it waiting for you to reply to? It's almost certain that the messages were written via WTO, not WTL. They probably specified MCSFLG of HARDCPY. If these were ASAxxxI messages, it's possible that the invoker did not take advantage of some infrastructure support that would avoid using hardcopy-only during IPL for precisely the case you encountered. After IPL, hardcopy-only is used to avoid flooding the console, since the syslog can be examined. A change to take advantage of this could likely be made in a future release.
