Hello Patrick, Last time I checked the LOGON command is NOT SUPPORTED via the HMC Operating System Messages interface...i.e. SYSCONS.
That means that specifying LOGON(OPTIONAL) is not usable. if you provide a name for you HMC console...e.g.:- CONSOLE DEVNUM(SYSCONS) NAME(&SYSNAME.HMC) you can get an automatic logon if a matching RACF USER exists... That is the only way to associate a RACF USERID with the SYSCONS.
