Run REXX program at tso logon 1

[iadithot]

I am looking for a way to automatically run a REXX program when a user logs into TSO. I know its possible because I have seen it done at a different shop. But being an Application Programmer and not a Systems Programmer I obviously don't know where to look, because I can't find any documentation on how to do it.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Start ISPF, find the datapoint at "TSO Logon". This is your 'logon procedurename'.

Look in SYS1.PROCLIB for a member named "JES"-something (2 or 3). That member names all the production PROCLIBs in use. Find your 'logon procedurename' in one of those PROCLIBs. That's the JCL which is started for you when you say 'LOGON'.

The JCL --may-- start a 'startup routine' (or it may not). If it does, look at what the startup routine is doing; if it starts a user-written routine, take appropriate action; if it doesn't, you're in 'do it manually' territory.

Thanks for the quick response Frank. I'll track that down.
