Oh, it just cannot be responded to normally when 'HCPSED6013A A CP read is pending' is displayed. Instead all responses must be prefixed with "#CP VINPUT VMSG '.

I'm actually not seeing why console definitions are explaining why one of the Frank's guests IPL without a prompt, and the other stops at the prompt. To me, this is clearly due to the use of Auto_IPL in the SYSTEM CONFIG. If the prompt cannot be responded to - ok - that's about consoles ... but the original question is likely about a difference in the Features Auto_IPL setting.. which I suggesed pretty early on in this thread.

So if it is in most "path"s for z/VM to find a console, why should we ever see PSWs of 1010? Shouldn't z/VM always find the Operating System Messages window as a last resort? (I must have one of my assumptions wrong, because we do see "1010"s). Thanks.
