Your not going to be able to have a message appear on the Sign on screen
like the system does with "incorrect password entered", but what you can
do
is what we do, display a format with the message you want via SNDRCVF
with
another hardcoded message at the bottom teeling the user to press enter
then
the next command to run in the Cl being the SIGNOFF command when the
user
presses enter they will be signed off.

Yes your job will be transferred to to the correct subsystem when you
run
the TFRJOB command, and you can validate this by running the WRKACTJOB
command.


Hope this helps,
