A bit far-fetched, but:
Create a HLLAPI application that reads a number of minimized ICC
terminal emulators and piles all the console messages into a single
display. Use a different text color for each - just like sysplexed
consoles do.
For command input, have the operator open that particular emulator
window. That way you avoid HLLAPI code for command input and routing,
and (more importantly) you force the user to focus their attention on
one system. Once the command is entered, minimize the emulator window
and the big HLLAPI application with all the messages shows again.

That is what I initially suggested. Then they said "but can we do it
with one session window open?" Thus my question.

A single PC with multiple 3270 sessions to an ICC would work, just get
a monitor(s) big enough to see/read all the sessions at the same time.

Subject: [IBM-MAIN] Consolidate Consoles
I have been asked about "Console Consolidation" for our multiple zOS
LPARs. Management wants to know what is available that will let us
have one display with all the console traffic from 5 LPARs. They are
envisioning a PC based solution, but we have the ability to run
something on zVM. (These z/OS LPARs are not under z/VM, but we have
z/VM on another CPU with NJE interconnection.)
Thoughts?
