RCS Consoles

CA Automation Point recognizes a CA Remote Console session by the RCS5663 or RCS5664 message. The state script puts the console in non-delete mode and formats the messages to include time stamps and job names. The state script also deletes any existing display areas and issues a message telling CA OPS/MVS that CA Automation Point is active on this console. CA provides a sample rcs.scr file with CA Automation Point. For more information on AXCCOM, see the AXCCOMM.txt file.

Note: If your RCS console operates with anything other than 20 lines on the screen, you must change the value of the SEG parameter (on the KEY statement) in the RCS script. This is the default KEY statement:

KEY=(K S,DEL=N,SEG=20,CON=N,MFORM=(T,J)@E)

RCS messages are processed similarly to MCS messages.
