I know you mentioned that you were reluctant to change the logon procs, but if you have a CLIST or REXX front-end, you could change that to invoke another CLIST or REXX exec to detect the production system, issue the necessary message(s), prompt for acknowledgment, and take action as needed.
Keep in mind also that users can be 'clever'. If using a 3270 emulator that allows scripting, they can/will set it up to automatically answer the prompt, essentially defeating the purpose. You may be able to get around this by generating a random string to be used for the reply. - Don Imbriale On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 7:50 AM, Andrew Metcalfe < andrew.metca...@barclays.com> wrote: > Rob > > For reasons I won't go into, my management have decreed that there must be > a > positive acknowledgement by the user that they are on a production system. > I loop in the exit until I get one.
