If logon processing takes more than the amount of time specified through the IKJTSO macro statement, the system issues a message to notify the user that the logon is still in process. You can change the number of seconds that elapse before users receive the logon proceeding message. By default, 300 seconds elapse before the message is issued. In most cases, the default is adequate. If users regularly receive the logon proceeding message, you may want to review the factors that affect logon performance, instead of changing how often the message is issued. For an overview of some of the factors you should consider when reviewing logon performance, see Improving the performance of the logon process.

LIMITS IKJTSO LOGTIME=120

TSO/E provides a sample job in SYS1.SAMPLIB member IKJTSMPE that shows how to use IKJTSO.

Instructions for using the sample job are included in the SYS1.SAMPLIB member. IKJTSO macro describes the syntax of IKJTSO.

If you used the TSO SYSGEN macro to change the default number of times the logon proceeding message is issued, when you install a new release of TSO/E, the default that TSO/E provides overlays your changes. After system generation, use IKJTSO to change the default attributes. By using IKJTSO, future SYSGENs or IOGENs do not replace your values.

You might also want to customize the text of error messages issued during logon processing. lists the messages you can customize. For information about how to customize the messages, see .
