Add Console Journaling for CICS Transactions

The customer was trying to journal the usage of a few CICS Transactions started at the console. One of these is CEMT. They have created a Profile
that specifies journaling for input only. The can see that some of the tasks have used CEMT, but they do not see where the use of CEMT from the Consoles is journaled, like when shutdown is issued. I reviewed the CICS code for module DFHZSUP and from what I can see the MSGJRNL(INPUT)
definition is for VTAM terminals only. It does not apply for Non-VTAM terminals such as the Console. I reviewed the CICS Resource Definition
Guide and there is nothing stating that the message journal attribute is for VTAM terminals only. The customer would like to see CICS Code modified to include journaling for CICS Transactions entered from the Console.

    We would not address by adding console journalling, but rather adding audit capability of CICS SPE commands.
