Hi; I assume you are referring to the Procedure field on the logon panel
If so then you can try just blanking out the field and the system should replace it with the default value thus allowing you to logon. If however your systems programmer is a security freak the field will remain blank and this will not help you in any way.

Hi if you try logging on and just give your userid as a parameter a panel should be displayed asking foryour password . On this panel you should be able to blank out the incorrect procedure name and this might help.
If you are logging on over some multi-session software (nvas solve) etc it might not allow you to do this .In this case when you have the vtam logon panel on your screen.Try clearing the screen and then issue the command
logon applid(tso)
and you should/could be prompted for your userid.
If so then enter userid and you will be shown the logon panel where you should blank the procedure field and then enter your password

WHEN USING TERMINALS SUPPORTED BY TSO/VTAM,
THE LOGON FROM THESE DEVICES WILL BE INSTALLATION DEFINED.
SEE YOUR SYSTEM PROGRAMMER FOR YOUR INSTALLATIONS
REQUIREMENTS.

I got this, in QW LOGON.

Is that command is Installation Defined Question

Hi: By default when you try to Logon if you only supply your USERID TSO will prompt you with a screen where you can enter your password racf group procedure name etc. Do you see this screen ?
If not when you select tso from the Multisession screen does the software automatically pass tso your userid and password ?
If this is the case you need to change the passthru parameters to at least remove the password parameter.

The clear screen is dependant on how your software is customised
(Normally PA1 ESC etc) THe Vtam screen in the screen that is displayed when the terminal attaches to vtam (when you start your emulation software)

If you have a friend that is currently logged on to the TSO you are having trouble with then have them go to the TSO READY prompt and enter LOGON xxxx (where xxx is your userid). That may bypass the session manager and let you change your procedure to a correct name.

Taltymans solution is the best, otherwise you have to modify your multi session panel to add a new session and normally this is a restricted function

Nevilh, Talymans
Thanks for Ur Suggestion.
Crying or Very sad

!! But even that is asking only the password and is not showing the other Screens ( First Screen with the Proc and account No etx ..)..

Looking for Some more solution which can Help ME.... Really I am in need of it..

Is it possible to change the Setting my replacing the Dataset in which Profiles are stored. If YES, which Dataset need to be replaced.
I tried replacing the userid.ISPF.PROF but it's not working. In my R&D i find that the name of the proc is stored in a system variable called ZLOGON. Anyone has any Idea, were this Variable will store its value.

Someone with racf (or whatever your security package is) authority can change the value in your racf TSO segment. That holds the value for proc as well as other TSO settings. Your ISPF profile has absolutely nothing to do with your problem.

Last attempt. try Taltymans suggestion again
ie get your friend to logon
then at the tso ready prompt try

logon userid/password proc(procname)

If you still dont know the correct procname use

logon userid/password proc()

This works for me .... but it sounds as though security is a bit tougher on your machine

Don't you have system programmers at your site?
