usually, you can find member QDSIGNON in file QDDSSRC in library QGPL. Copy this member to new one and edit by SEU or SDA. After creating new object you have to change subsystem description (usually QINTER) - CHGSBSD - keyword SGNDSPF.

I just did this for our AS/400 and added a "security" message and the company logo on it. What you need to do is get the QDSIGNON source and edit it to show/say what you want. then for any subsystem you want this to show up on (don't use QCTL so you can at least get into your console) you will have to do a ENDSBS on the subsystem. Then compile the DDS source into a library other than QSYS I put mine in QGPL. Then STRSBS on the subsystems you want the QDSIGNON used in. Then do a CHGSBSD SBSD(QINTER) SGNDSPF(QGPL/QDSIGNON). (Change SGNDSPF to whatever Subsystem(s) you want to use the new signon screen. If you have any problems let me know.

The source file member is QDSIGNON in QGPL/QDDSSRC. Do not change the order of inout capable fields or remove them. If you only want users to be able to enter User ID and Password, you can protect and hide the other fields in the changed DDS. Compile the source into one of your libraries and then change the sub system description for the subsystem such as QINTER by using WRKSBSD. I would advise that you do not change your controlling subsystem just in case! You can add many lines of output text and you can move the positions of input capable fields providing you do not alter their sequence in the DDS.

go to http://as400bks.rochester.ibm.com/bookmgr/home.htm and look up the the book OS/400 Work management there you wil find some information on changing QDSIGNON. The source of QDSIGNON is shipped in QGPL/QDDSSRC. I copied the source and added the following lines:

    A            MSG001        79   O 11  2MSGID(S000001 SIGNON)
    A            MSG002        79   O 12  2MSGID(S000002 SIGNON)
    A            MSG003        79   O 13  2MSGID(S000003 SIGNON)
    A            MSG004        79   O 14  2MSGID(S000004 SIGNON)
    A            MSG005        79   O 15  2MSGID(S000005 SIGNON)
    A            MSG006        79   O 16  2MSGID(S000006 SIGNON)
    A            MSG007        79   O 17  2MSGID(S000007 SIGNON)
    A            MSG008        79   O 18  2MSGID(S000008 SIGNON)

create a MSGF SIGNON and add the MSGID's with your text. When creating the sign-on display file with the Create Display File (CRTDSPF) command, secify 256 on the MAXDEV parameter. I created QDSIGNON in QGPL, and changed the SBSD QINTER to look at QGPL/QDSIGNON. I would recommmend not to change the controling subsystem. HTH
