There is a "console" on the 400 but it is only used for very special
functions, when you are in dedicated mode. Normally this the device
on port 0 address 0.

For the most current system info, you should be monitoring QSYSOPR
message que.
any message that requires a response will stay until answered. Messages
not
needing a response will just build up until the que is cleared.

Suggest you get out a copy of System Operations Guide....
