Re: batch job that uses a dspf.

Console has special meaning to SLIC - DST, manual IPL - such things.
Other than that it's just another display device. QCTL gives console device
a priority boost - but this is just configuration. You can do the same for
your favourite display device, if you wish.
This has nothing to do with interactive feature etc.

Alexei,

Thanks for your response, but I'm a bit confused.

Ok, I think I got it.  If you have a twinax system console -and- other
5250 jobs the console will suffer a hit?

I was thinking along the lines that a twinax console was the -only- 5250
device.

So, although the QCTL (console) device runs at priority 10 and the
QINTER devices (other 5250) run at priority 20, the governor will affect
both?

Or does the governor ignore the console?  After all it -is- the console.

I'm still trying to get clear on this subject myself.  I always thought
that a console is a console, period.
