Ending a TSO/E Session

When you are finished using TSO/E, issue the LOGOFF command to sign off from the system and end your terminal session. The system releases your user ID until the next time you issue the LOGON command.

Example
To log off the system, enter at the READY mode message: `LOGOFF`

You can also sign off from the system by issuing the LOGON command. When you sign off using the LOGON command, the system terminates your current session and starts a new one using the options specified on the LOGON command.

Example
To re-log on while you are already logged on, enter the LOGON command at the READY mode message: `LOGON` You then see a termination message and a prompt for your user ID. `YOURID LOGGED OFF TSO AT 13:22:51 ON DECEMBER 10, 1987 ENTER USERID -` After you enter your user ID, you see the normal logon procedure used at your installation.
