Real easy.
In QGPL/QDDSSRC there should be a source member QDSIGNON.  Copy it
( I would make sure to leave the original source unmodified in case you
want
to start over).  You can use SDA to then modify it to your hearts content.
There
are a couple of things to watch out for - 1.) Don't change the sequence of
the
input fields, 2.) Don't change the indicators used currently, 3.) when
compiling,
make sure your resulting file matches the QDSIGNON file (MAXDEV, LVLCHK,
and DEV are a few I can think of).  Once compiled you need to change the
subsystem description to use the new DSPF:  CHGSBSD SBSD(QINTER)
SGNDSPF(lib/newfile).

Couple of thoughts: start simple and then go from there, I never modify an
existing subsystem but use a copy and work with them, you may have to
end and start the subsystem - I can't remember.

We use a modified signon screen to display our logo (using text characters,
of course), non-display fields we don't use (program/procedure, menu,
and current library), and display a customer controlled message on the
display.

I don't think I've left out anything important but if I have I'm sure
someone
will let us know.
