Re: AS400 Signon screen problem

Hi Ash

I gather from your email that the console is not available. I would have
expected that the console would be unaffected by this if it was done in the
recommended way.

Presuming that you can't sign on, you could try making an FTP connection
and either rename the file in the MYQSYS library to something else, or
delete it.

You may have a problem in that the file will be locked as it is in use by
the screens and the interactive subsystems preventing you from doing this.
You could try ending the interactive subsystems - using FTP to enter the
commands remotely - and turning off your console.

If I remember rightly to enter the command remotely it will be something like:
quote rcmd endsbs qinter *immed

the "quote" is not a mistype :)

The only other option I can think of is to perform a manual IPL and take
the option to set major system options and either delete or rename the file
or temporarily remove MYQSYS from the system library list so that you can
fix your QDSIGNON issue.

Once you have the system up and running you should consider altering the
signon screen so it affects your users screens only. Leave your controlling
subsystem with the default display file.

Hope this helps

This is a serious issue and a prompt reply by anyone would be greatly
appreciated.

Here is my problem....

I customized the AS400 default signon screen (File QDSIGNON). I then
compiled it into my AS400's custom QSYS library called MYQSYS. I placed
library MYQSYS above QSYS in the system library list value. I got a clean
compile of my custom QDSIGNON. I then did an IPL on the AS400. Once the
IPL had finished I was shown the NEW custom QDSIGNON screen. The only
input capable fields I have on this signon screen is the USER and PASSWORD
fields. As soon as I enter the user name and password, i get the the
message CPF1133 "Name is not valid".

It does not liek any user or password I put in, doe anyone know how i can
just get into the AS400 so that I can put the IBM supplied signon back
into effect?

Thanks,

Ash.
