The definition of an MVS™ console is essentially a special case of a local terminal definition. The TYPETERM in RDO identifies the device as a console, with the CONSOLE value for the DEVICE attribute. The console identifier for a particular console is specified on the TERMINAL definition as the CONSOLE attribute, which is the equivalent of the CONSLID= value on the macro. It is also possible to use the CONSNAME attribute of the TERMINAL definition (see Terminal definition attributes).
