You can use IBM i Message ID's that are stored in a custom Message File (MSGF) to display messages on the signon display.
Sorry if didn't emphasize this enough in my first post. I'm interested in something showing up in the message line *after signon*. After a while, people are used to the signon screen enough to easily overlook stuff being printed there.

I am not aware of such a system driven capability. In the past, I used a data-area to store MOTD and a display file inside users initial program to show the content of this data-area and request the user to hit Enter to continue. This is not exactly the behavior of MOTD on Unix/Linux based systems but it was accepted. You have also to have a small tool to update the data-area content. You can include some message validity date/time window as well.



:wq! PoC
