Hi Charles.
If you're running z/OS under z/VM, you can define a "real" console for your
testing. I use address 3E0 because (I think) it was already in the HCD
definitions provided by DTSC.
You need an entry in your CONSOLxx parmlib member that can be as simple as
CONSOLE DEVNUM(3E0) ROUTCODE(ALL)
Or most of the parms specified, like this:
CONSOLE DEVNUM(3E0) ROUTCODE(1-10,12-128)
UNIT(3270-X)
AUTH(MASTER)
DEL(RD)
RNUM(19)
RTME(1)
MFORM(J,T)
SEG(19)
AREA(NONE)
NAME(S0W103E0)
You also need a SPECIAL 3E0 3270 statement in your (VM) directory, or I think
you could issue "CP DEFINE GRAF 3E0" from the machine's PROFILE EXEC.
Once set up, you set your 3270 emulator to connect to the VM address (not your
z/OS address) and (at DTSC) port 23. You'll get a VM logon screen, from where
you'll use the CP DIAL ETPmyzos 3E0. You'll have to specify your authorization
via your ETPuserid and password, and then the DIAL will complete.
To tell z/OS to use it as a console after you DIAL, you'll also need to issue
VARY 3E0,ONLINE and VARY 3E0,CONSOLE commands to activate it.
