Re: IBM QDSIGNON and QDSIGNON2 signon screen changes when changing QPWDLVL from 0 to 3

Hello Rob,

I believe the system has a few things in it to keep you from shooting yourself in the foot. A sample line is:
"The buffer length for the display file must be 318. If it is less than 318, the subsystem uses the default sign-on display, QDSIGNON in library QSYS when system value QPWDLVL is 0 or 1 and QDSIGNON2 in library QSYS when QPWDLVL is 2 or 3."

So maybe it detected the change, decided your custom signon screen is bunk, and used the IBM default?

Interesting! Now I know why I didn't need to change anything else when changing password level to 2 and it just worked.

:wq! PoC
