Is there a way to display a customized message when one logs into ISPF.
After login into ISPF, I want "Hello welcome to MVS" to be displayed.

Yes, it is possible.

You will need to modify the logon procedures to do this, and this will affect every user that uses the same proc(s).

Why would you want to display such a message anyway - everyone knows that TSO runs under z/OS anyway. And if they don not know then they should not be trusted to have access to a logon in the first place.

You can store a "notice" in the broadcast dataset for all users to see every time they LOGON (unless they use NONOTICES option).

To add a saved notice, use console command:

SEND 'HELLO WELCOME TO MVS',SAVE

The notice will be saved and assigned a number. Use the number to delete it later, using console command:

SEND nn,DELETE

If you lose the number, list all notices using console command:

SEND LIST
