    An option to consider might be to define a second session for each session with an alternate name. For example one named TSOwith and another named TSOwout.

    Hello IBM, the main reasons for using an application without an initial dialog, is to change some Application Parameters as the TSO Logon Procedure Name or to use a second UserId in Sysview ...
    A current Problem is also, to allow the user to login with PassPhrase or Password, if destination Application is not yet set to PassPhrase support but the Supersession is system already done this.
    A initial dialog test is done in our sandbox systems every time before we go to production.
    kind regards Svend

    Thank you for your request. After careful consideration we have declined this request. A practical and reasonable alternative exists: For instance: While the dialog is under development and may be problematic two changes can be added. First: In KLSVSELA, add a test refresh before the VSSALLOC to be sure the dialog is valid. Second: Within the initial dialog, add logic like “If &VSSUSER NE diagdev return” to prevent its execution while the developer named diagdev is still testing it.
