Re: Sign on problem -- new iSeries conversion from s/390

Welcome, Jimmy! Good to see a newcomer.

One of the most important things to do when a message is displayed, is to put the cursor on the message text somewhere and press F1 (or help). You'll see what is called second-level information, which often has why something happened and what you might do about it.

As far as manuals go for messages, there are so many that it's not practical. You could use the command

DSPMSGD RANGE(*ALL) MSGF(QCPFMSG) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

to get a printout of all the messages in the message file QCPFMSG. There are numerous other message files, as well - they are often used for national language support, as well as the source of text for various screens and commands, etc. Execute

WRKMSGF *ALL/*ALL to see how many there are.

Also, when you prompt a command, many of them have, in the help text, a list of the error messages that may occur when using that command. They can be monitored for in a CL program, so that you can take appropriate action.

I am a brand new os/400 user.  We are starting a conversion/new development
from S/390 to the iSeries.  We just powered on the box Mon.  I am trying to
get QSECOFR to be able to sign on in my office (pc using tn5250).  The
console is twinax attached.  I have changed the qlmtsecofr in qsysval but,
when I try to sign on I am getting the following message:
        CPF1394 User profile QSECOFR cannot sign on.
I can sign on as QSECOFR on the console.

I am getting the same error when I use QUSER.

I look forward to learning os/400 and will be watching the list to learn
more.

Thanks for your help!!!

Also is there a messages and code manual to find these types of error??
