PURPOSE      Identifies users who have exceeded the
             installation defined limit for the number of
             LOGON commands issued per hour.

RATIONALE    The TSO LOGON command is used to initiate a TSO
             session.  This command and LOGOFF, which
             terminates a TSO session, use a lot of
             resources.  Therefore, this command should not
             be issued excessively in a short period of time
             under normal circumstances.  Excessive use may
             indicate unproductive TSO users who are not
             planning their TSO sessions.

DEFINITION   This exception is detected when an individual
             userid's logons per hour exceeds the
             installation specified maximum hourly limit.
