I don't know of any native z/OS facility, but CA-TPX provides this capability. That would be an expensive solution for this problem, but of course you would get a lot of additional function as well.
Maybe another more basic (=cheaper) session manager would be acceptable. I know only this one. . .

The user then has to re-authenticate by supplying their RACF password. If they haven’t unlocked their screen after another TWT interval I need the user to be terminated S522. The key driver is obviously the IEFUTL exit. However, I can’t “pause” the process and have IEFUTL wait for the response, because I also want to grant an extension to the already consumed wait time and then have the user cancelled at the end of the extension period. This means running IEFUTL to conclusion in order to grant the extension. I have tried various approaches without complete success: - Attaching IKJEFT01 as a subtask of the program named in the logon procedure and waiting on ECB posted by IEFUTL. Still pursuing this, just in a mess with the protect key of the ECB which I can overcome. - Multiple IEFUTL exits – 1st one to set the extension and 2nd one to lock the screen. My testing implies that all the exits at SYSTSO.IEFUTL must complete before the extension is honoured. Now considering the use of an SRB scheduled out of IEFUTL so that the IEFUTL path completes and grants the extension. However it’s been a while since I messed with SRB and I’m not sure I have the correct environment. More reading required, but the SRB is another unit of work and therefore won’t have access to SYSTSPRT and probably can’t issue TPUT/TGET anyway – I’ve not checked. I’ve read all I can find in the archives but nothing helps. Any pointers gratefully received.
