Use TERMINAL TIMEstamp/TIMESTMp to control whether messages and
command responses on the virtual machine console are prefixed with the local time
of day.
CP
ON
OFF
If you specify CP, control program messages and command responses on the
console are prefixed with the local time of day. ON causes all virtual machine
and CP messages to be identifed with time stamps. If you specify OFF,
messages are displayed with no prefix.
1. Time stamps are not produced for some CP command responses (for example,
to QUERY READER ALL) to preserve readability.
2. Messages sent to a secondary user for a primary user with TIMESTAMP CP are
not prefixed with a time stamp, for compatibility with earlier releases of VM. The
time stamp prefix generation that occurs for a secondary user depends on the
TIMESTAMP settings of both the primary and secondary users. The sources of
time stamps are summarized in the table below.

3. The system default is TIMESTAMP OFF except for the primary system operator
whose TIMESTAMP setting is CP.
