If I remember correctly, a 3215 is 132 character print which is why messages
are wrapping. I'm guessing that 3270 mode does not print some message
attributes but in 3215 mode enables them because of the free space. Issue a
console command to remove these if you don't like the wrapping.

Actually, your z/OS has this defined as a terminal under a control unit. This
terminal could be just as easily be for VTAM. z/OS doesn't care. Issue V
xxx,console and z/OS allocates the device to the system instead of VTAM.
VM and z/OS may interact a little more but to deal with the missing CU or
change from 3270 to 3215 but it's just a terminal connected to the console
address space.

Are you using #CP DISCONNECT or using PA1 with DISCONNECT? I think PA1 puts the
terminal into CP mode and stops messages from passing to the VM terminal which
means CP doesn't receive any messages to forward to SECUSER. My guess is that
you will see messages being queued to that console. There's a D C command to
see if message are queueing up.
As a suggestion, get it working with a CMS user and a looping REXX exec. Once
that's working, z/OS should work the same.

Jon Perryman kindly offered more thoughts. I've been doing VM for over forty
years, though focused on z/OS for the last fifteen, so I am very familiar with
PROP and SECUSER and like that. I agree that this is a VM thing, but I'm
suspecting that it may have to do with some virtual device not existing, or a
CP TERMINAL setting. I did try CP TERMINAL CONMODE 3215 but that was.weird,
output wrapping and I don't think showing up in SECUSER (I did need to get the
system up so other folks could use it, so my tinkering was limited, alas).
You wrote, in part:

Right. But they aren't messages from the "VM terminal" per se: they're from the
z/OS console. Now, that's running on z/VM, so there's some VM terminal-ness in
there, but it's not quite as simple as "Set up PROP", since, as noted, SECUSER
isn't getting the output.
I guess I'm kinda looping here. I don't mean to sound argumentative-I really
appreciate the input, I just don't see how to apply it (yet)! We'll see what I
get from the VM list, and I will close the loop here if/when I get it resolved.
Meanwhile, keep those ideas comin'.!
