In traditional ISPF at LOGON time, you can select a COMMAND to be executed. I noticed when I LOGON to TSO through ZOSMF, there is NOT a COMMAND field to enter. As a result, my current LOGON proc fails. Can you allow a COMMAND to be entered through ZOSMF?

It is useful because I cannot logon to TSO currently with my LOGON proc through ZOSMF. We do NOT want to have to create SPECIAL procs.
