The IEE342I MODIFY REJECTED-TASK BUSY message is produced when trying to log on the the OS console because OPEN=YES is not coded on the GROUP or LINE statement in the initialization file for the DEVICE=CONSL. Add the OPEN=YES to the GROUP and LINE statement for the DEVICE=CONSL and the commands should work (after bouncing 7).
