TSO/E User ID Information

User type definitions can specify the following information that becomes parameters for the TSO/E ACCOUNT command and/or RACF® commands, depending on how your installation is set up. In addition, they can specify the authorization information listed in TSO/E Authorization Information. If the definition omits information, the system uses default values. The default values give the user authorization to use your installation's LOGON procedure.

LOGON PROCEDURE: The LOGON PROCEDURE field specifies the name of the procedure the system is to execute when the user logs on. The procedure defines the system resources available to the user. It might also specify which program the system is to invoke after LOGON processing is completed.
TSO/E supplies a sample logon procedure in ICQ.ICQSAMP(ICQAPROC). You can use a modified version of this procedure or one your installation has written.
MIN. REGION SIZE: The MIN. REGION SIZE field specifies the minimum amount of virtual storage the system can assign to the user's private area during LOGON processing. The number is in 1024-byte units.
If the field is blank or contains 0, the system assigns the minimum amount of storage. If the value in this field is greater than the value in the MAX. REGION SIZE field, the system uses the MAX. REGION SIZE value instead of the value in MIN. REGION SIZE.
MAX. REGION SIZE: The MAX.REGION SIZE field specifies the maximum amount of virtual storage the system can assign to the user's private area during LOGON processing. The number is in 1024-byte units. If this field is blank, the user profile specifies no upper limit on the region size.
HOLD CLASS: The HOLD CLASS field specifies the reserved output class the system assigns to jobs the user submits using SUBMIT commands that specify the HOLD parameter. The hold class determines on which hold queue the system places the job.
If this field is blank, the system assigns no default reserved output class. To have jobs held, either the user must specify HOLD=YES on the DD statement associated with the output data set, or the user's message class must be a held class.
JOB CLASS: The JOB CLASS field specifies the job class the system assigns to jobs if the user specifies none. The job class determines the priority at which jobs are executed. If this field is blank, the system assigns the job class.
MESSAGE CLASS: The MESSAGE CLASS field specifies the output class to which the system writes system messages and JCL statements for certain jobs the user submits, specifically, jobs submitted: (a) with NOHOLD specified on the SUBMIT command, and (b) without a JOB statement that specifies the MSGCLASS keyword. If this field is blank, the system assigns the message class.
SYSOUT CLASS: The SYSOUT CLASS field specifies the output class the system assigns to SYSOUT (output) data sets the user allocates without specifying an output class. If this field is blank, the system assigns the output class.
UNIT: The UNIT field specifies the name of a device or group of devices on which the system puts data sets the user creates without specifying a volume. If this field is blank, the user must specify a volume or unit when creating a data set.
DESTINATION ID: The DESTINATION ID field specifies the ID of either a system output device or a remote workstation. The ID indicates where the system is to route SYSOUT (output) data sets the user dynamically allocates but does not explicitly route. If this field is blank, the user must explicitly route all output data sets.
PERFORMANCE GROUP: The PERFORMANCE GROUP field specifies the performance group the person can request when logging onto the system. If this field is blank, the person has no choice. The system always assigns an installation-defined performance group.
A performance group associates the user's work with a set of performance characteristics that determine how the system treats the work.
USER DATA: The USER DATA field specifies the installation-defined data to be added to the user's entry in the SYS1.UADS data set or the RACF data base.
