Each of these areas is described in more detail in the following sections.
4.2.1 Window Title
The default window title is a string consisting of the following information:
“LPARNAME – SYSTYPE * SYSNAME * SYSPLEX – System Status: colour”
LPARNAME is the value taken from the correspondent system parameter or console command. SYS-
TYPE, SYSNAME and SYSPLEX are populated by the system call SCLP Control Program Identification.
If any of these values is blank, then that field is not presented in the window title. The system status can
either be green, amber or red and has the following meanings:
Figure 2: Console Panel - Window Title
The title of the Hercules window can be customized through the PANTITLE system parameter or console
command. To create the window title shown in the figure above the following PANTITLE system para-
meter was used:
PANTITLE "Hercules Emulator HMC - MVS V3.8J"
The window title can also dynamically be changed through the PANTITLE console command which looks
the same as the system parameter shown above.
4.2.2 Log Area
The log area displays Hercules’ log output. This output can also be written to a log file, if requested. In the
log area all Hercules messages are displayed, as well as every command entered and the response re-
turned from Hercules.
This area may also show the system console output of the operating system running under Hercules, if
there is no system console defined in the configuration file and the operating system console output is
routed to the Hercules console instead.
