Really? Do people still use DISPLAY ... UPON CONSOLE in 2016?
Even in 1970 there were standards where I worked that didn't allow
it except for very
special cases that really required operator intervention. And we
only had three regions
on our MVT system. Today even a tiny shop typically has dozens of
batch jobs running.

Agreed. I wrote a standard for COBOL back in the 70's that stated
upon console was not allowed and operations backed me up 1000 percent.
Also accept from console was not allowed as well.
