Hi Jon,
A SPECIAL (in the directory) can also be DETACHd.

AFAIK, (since VM R6.0) this statement has never been true.
Hi David,
Can you explain why this is false or how I have this wrong? Steve said device but he
really meant to say virtual device. The antonym of ATTACH is DETACH but strangely DETACH
has many antonyms (e.g. ATTACH, DEFINE CONSOLE, DEFINE GRAF, ...). If you detach a
console, then the antonym is define console. If you detach a real address, then the
antonym is attach. As for "require", I think this is what you are talking about
being false. I should have been clearer and said the opposite of detach console is define
console (not attach console).

Phil would need to verify what I'm saying. "detach" is a generic command that eliminates a virtual address regardless of how the
virtual address was defined. "attach" is for attaching real VM addresses to a user at a virtual address. Detaching a
"console" requires a "DEFINE CONSOLE". Detaching a "GRAF" requires a "DEFINE GRAF". I think there
are several variations of DEFINE specific to the virtual device type.

To my understanding, that sounds correct.
Explicitly removing the NIP *console* definition, though leaving the
address defined/intact in the IODF for later use by MVS console services
(CONSOLxx), would have the same effect as making the device inaccessible,
either through (presumably) bad cabling in my case, or through VM detach
that you describe, which sounds more dynamic.
Just out of curiosity, is there such a thing as VM "attach" to reconnect a
device at a later time?
