Issue/Introduction

Description:

I tried logging on to TSO with logonid/password/newpassword. I was logged on with no messages. I later found out my password change did not take effect. Why were there no messages?

Solution:

TSO has a built in pause where messages are passed, and then TSO pauses with ***. ACF2 has a GSO option to bypass the pause. Check the GSO TSO record.

TSO ACF
SET CONTROL(GSO)
CONTROL                                                                       
SHOW TSO

PASSWORD PHRASE LOGON=YES  TSO LOGONHERE=YES          BYPASS PAUSE AT LOGON=NO

Look for BYPASS PAUSE AT LOGON=NO|YES. The default is NOBYPPAUSE. With BYPPAUSE set, the TSO pause will be bypassed, the messages are still sent by ACF2, but flashes on the screen too fast to be seen. To see the messages, you need to use NOBYPPAUSE.
