Re: Message of the day at 5250 signon

Well, seems one of the few other options left would be to send a break
message to ALL users to their message queues and when they just sign on,
that message would pop up as soon as they get into the system. This is
less difficult and in general it works. That's what we do also when we
warn users that the system will undergo an IPL. When they sign on, they
know they will have a short time to do things.

Pick your job start option and never ending program to read the dtaq and
send something to the user(s)

I have created a small RPG program for routing entry in a support
interactive subsystem
that keeps certain users off the server.

at the end the program just does a RRTJOB to a different RTGDTA in the
subsystem to continue on their way...

but this option was mentioned before...

Hello Javier,

If you want to display the message AFTER signon, another option could

be that you tailor a CL/RPG program that could be called precisely just
after that.

Yes. Probably there's a system exit, so there is no need to alter user

profiles, SBSDs or the like? With that the thing might boil down to how to
send the message instead of how to get the system to do this at signon time.

As said in another message, I'll put this aside for now, because the

effort is considerable in any case.

One big disadvantage to this is that you would have to update ALL user

profiles to have the INLPGM parameter to point to that program.

Don't wanna do this. Also, if a user already has set an INLPGM, how to

cope with that? Also, an INLPGM can easily be overridden on the signon
screen, so the message won't be shown. Searching for a foolproof and
defaults-preserving way. Seems to be most hard?

:wq! PoC
