My fault, I'm referring to our Z/OS consoles, we have four of them, each identified by a Tel#. Their different TSO's as I'm told. Is that like having 4 different "systems" running? That would mean there are different jobs running in each TSO, right? And that's probably why I'm supposed to check for outstanding messages on each console. But yet I can check any drive status on any console. If Tel1 prompts me for a tape, what message would I get if a D U,,, that drive from another console?
Back to the console question though, here is what I've gathered so far: Orange Text - task successfully executed, will roll off screen Blue - task is about to happen White - mount a tape (come to think of it, all the messages are tape related, aren't there many other things going on in the mainframe?) Those vertical bars on the left, do they group messages or something? I know I'm hammering you with questions, but if you could answer them for me it would really fill in the holes.
