RE: Dynamically change the output text on Sign-on screen

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are a couple DDS keywords that include the token MSG - check them out 
in the DSPF section of the DDS Reference or in the Application Display 
Programming manual - available at InfoCenter.

I don't remember the details, and the manuals have everything you need to 
know. Actually, SDA has all the help you need, once you get into the 
keywords for fields. Dig around a little and you'll find treasure. I think 
you are looking for MSG or MSGTXT but I'm not sure.
