  ****************************************************************
  Ordinarily, a program establishes a connection to the IUCV
  *MSG or *MSGALL system service in order to intercept its own
  console output. When a guest running such a program is
  disconnected and has a secondary user defined, this behavior
  changes and console output is sent to the secondary user.
  In many situations, this behavior is unexpected and undesirable.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new TERMINAL command option, PRECEDENCE, has been added to
  control guest console output routing. If this option is set to
  SECUSER, the default, console output goes to any secondary user
  and not to the guest, compatible with current behavior. If the
  PRECEDENCE option is set to STARMSG, output goes to the guest's
  *MSG or *MSGALL connection and only if there is no such
  connection, to the secondary user. The response to the QUERY
  TERMINAL command has an additional line that reports the
  PRECEDENCE option setting.
