OS Section
The OS section of the MCC system.cfg file defines an OS, its type, its consoles,
and software lists. The OS section name determines the name of the OS icon.
VM and server systems such as Unix machines do not require a printer defined,
as neither has the concept of a printer console as does MVS. However, a printer
must be defined if the MCC system is using the “Q” series of commands in scripts
(refer to the QREAD command in the Scripting Guide for more details).
The OS Name must be 11 characters or less, and the system.cfg file can contain a
maximum total of 600 OS sections.

Table 17 lists valid key requirements for the OS section:
