ISPF users can start QMF with the ISPF SELECT service and the ISPSTART commands. Without ISPF, users can use the DSQQMFE module. For more information on ISPF dialogs, see Interactive System Productivity Facility for OS/390 Dialog Management Services and Examples.
As the QMF installer, you must have a TSO logon procedure. When you log on to TSO as installer and start the Terminal Monitor Program (TMP), it invokes the TSO logon procedure.
The TMP is the principal interface between user and terminal during the user's TSO sessions. Your installation might be using either its own TMP or the standard one supplied by IBM. If the TMP is not the standard one, some of the following information might not apply.
Besides invoking the TMP, a logon procedure allocates resources for its users at the start of a TSO session. QMF users need more resources than the minimum set that all TSO users require. By using a logon procedure, you ensure that you are providing these additional resources to establish an adequate TSO environment.
The TSO logon procedure starts when a user logs on to TSO. After the procedure runs, you have the option of also running a logon CLIST.
The sample logon procedure allocates resources for someone who uses TSO solely as a means to reach QMF. For users who want to do more with their TSO sessions, additional resources may be required.
Some of the resources that are allocated in the logon procedure can also be allocated in a CLIST that invokes QMF.
