RE: a new sign-on screen

Marc,

It can be by name or type. If you display the susbsystem description you
will see that you have option 4 for name entries and option 5 for type
entries. You can add either type of entry using the ADDWSE command.

For either type of entry you have an alloaction (AT) parameter. This can
be at *SIGNON or at *ENTER. If it's a *SIGNON entry the subsystem will
attempt to allocate the workstation when it starts up. If successful it
will display the sign-on screen. If another subsystem has already
allocated the screen it will not be able to. The *ENTER allocation
allows a job to transfer into the subsystem after sign-on.

If you look at the default entries for QCTL and QINTER you will see that
QCTL has a *SIGNON entry for type *CONS and an *ENTER entry for type
*ALL, while QINTER has these the other way round. That's why only the
console defaults into QCTL while all the others default into QINTER.

To test your signon screen create a named entry for the workstation
you're signed on to in the test subsystem with AT(*SIGNON). Issue a
TFRJOB xxxxx command where xxxxx is the name of the test subsystem, then
sign off. You should then be staring at your artistic masterpiece.  :-)
