The requirements of the RFE can be achieved by writing your own signon program for CICS to obtain the user information that you require and construct your customized response. Your program would need to issue the following commands:
EXEC CICS VERIFY -- to obtain the user's last logon time
EXEC CICS SIGNON -- to authenticate the user, create an ACEE, and attach the ACEE to the terminal
EXEC CICS ASSIGN USERNAME -- to obtain the user's name from their RACF profile
MOVE EIBTRMID or EXEC CICS ASSIGN FACILITY -- to obtain the terminal ID
You may write your signon program in any language.

Thanks you for raising this RFE. I agree it would be better not to need the ICHRIX02 exit for this function.
Rather than invoking a URM as part of signon processing would the following be an acceptable solution.
1) A successful signon using CESN/L results in a customer defined transaction being executed next.
2) EXPIRYTIME(data-area) and LASTUSETIME(data-area) are made available to this next transaction
(either by the ASSIGN command, or passed in a container)
