Actually i want to throw some messages when user login to the system.
For Ex:
If user logins then rexx should throw "WELCOME userid()"

Please tell what procedure should be followed to make it successful.

I'm a little confused.

How exactly are you going to know when a TSO user has logged into the system? Are you reading the console messages, looking for the "IEF125I userid - LOGGED ON - TIME=hh.mm.ss" message, in which case you'll need to use the MVS SEND (SE) command when this event occurs?

Or, are you just modifying their logon script?

superk, looks like the poster wants to display a message everytime user logs on.

Som Shankar, this may require a change in logon script. It is specific to every shop. There are few shops where an 'user defined' exec is run (if found) at the end of logon processing. You can add your processing at this exec. The better contact is your Systems team to get the details of logon script being executed .
