Re: How to Dynamically Update Sign On Screen with use of Message File Field

["Bill Meecham" <bmeecham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It looks like you've defined message constants in your display file instead
of creating a field that references a message id for it's value.

So, for example, Instead of:
A
7 10MSGCON(062 MSG0001 *LIBL/QDSIGNON)
Do this:
A                                                                MSG0001
70A  O  7  10MSGID(MSG0001 *LIBL/QDSIGNON)

Subject: How to Dynamically Update Sign On Screen with use of Message File
Field


In reference to the article:

http://www.rpgenerationx.com/articles/dgeorge1.html

I have been testing the above procedure and can not get it to function
correctly.   I have placed Message Fields on a Test Sign On Screen that was
copied from QDSIGNON.  The fields reference Message Descriptions in a
Message File.  Per the referenced article, the goal is to be able to
dynamically change the Message Descriptions in the Message File and have
then reflect on the Sign On Screen WITHOUT having to recompile the DSPF or
end and start the QINTER subsystem.

I am finding the changes will not take place unless I recompile the DSPF and
restart QINTER.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong ?
