Issue/Introduction

The Datacom console command "MESSAGE [email protected],DB00148" gets the following error message:

DB00605E - CONSOLE BAD CONTEXT - MESSAGE [email protected],DB00148

no matter how it's executed (MVS Modify command or via DBUTLTY COMM OPTION=CONSOLE).

Environment

Release : 15.1

Component : Datacom/AD

Resolution

In order to use that console command, the [email protected] SYSOUT dataset must be already allocated to MUF. 
However, this sysout is allocated ONLY if there is at least a:
MESSAGE [email protected],DBnnnnn
card in the SYSIN deck when the MUF starts.
