And what is the requirement? To wish you a good day? Sheesh, you're the second person in as many days to come up with this nonsense, so same advice:

Go back to your Winblows world (where you can run whatever you want after starting the system).

Mainframes are used for real work, and real work comes with rules. One of them is not to tinker with systems for your own pleasure.

Hello,

Who decided this was a requirement? What business reason might there be to do this?

You could use the TSO logon panel to enter the command to be executed.

This is useless at most sites, as the command will only be executed after the site-specific clist/exec (that usually starts ISPF) has finished. In many cases this clist/exec will actually log you off, or if not, drop you back at the READY prompt.

How about a scheduler?

Sure,

where i worked i could do almost anything with logon procedures/commands. But then i was one of those special
users (maybe the TS is too).

gylbharat,

I posted some articles about tso here.
though some are old,
the info is still current,
and there are a lot of links to manuals,

where you could learn a little about what you are being required todo.

Our system allows for user customization of the logon. The system logon exec looks for '&user.logon(setup)' and if there, executes it. Perhaps your system has something similar. Ask your system support.

And if you could do that... here is a crude example:
Code:
/* rexx */                             
say 'starting FRSTTIME'               
if date('w') \= 'Monday' then Exit     
if time('H') > 9         then Exit     
Address TSO 'SUBMIT JCL.CNTL(winblows)'

gylbharat,

Just be careful of the chance of accidental submission. If you are on support, you don't want to arrive at 00:01, start the log-on to TSO, go and get a cup of coffee, and find the reports submitted by the time you get back (or, maybe you do?). You could have one of those "Do you really mean to do this?" questions. Starts to get a bit tedious.

Remember, someone also has to do this when you are off ill/on holiday/found a better job.

To be honest, I'd probably just stick a piece of paper in my keyboad saying "don't forget those fine reports for Monday".
