I agree with Dave, plus if needing to issue this command you can initialize a
console environment easier with rexx
address TSO
"consprof soldisp(no) solnum(300) unsoldisp(no)"
"console activate name("Cart_V") cart("Cart_V")"
for example

Jim et al,
$TOFFLOAD is a command which only works in the JES2 Environment.
It is NOT a TSO Command.
