No, we do not. Seems silly to me because there is no "inactivity timeout" to force a re-logon. So, if we did, the operator would LOGON at IPL and that would be that until the next IPL. We don't really have operators anyway. We have NOC people who are more PC oriented. And we have z/OS Production Control people who actually monitor z/OS as well. And they use TSO and SMCS (VTAM connected via TN3270) consoles. They do need to logon to the SMCS console. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
