Another thought I had about this. Does a typical "user" get the scrolling screen when using a Unix screen? Or are they plopped into some GUI or other such thing which focuses on their job duties? For example, does an order entry clerk typically get a scrolling screen and then types in 'enter order' or some such thing?
Or are scrolling screens more the domain of administrators? I think of them like the open system version of CALL QCMD

Subject: Message of the day at 5250 signon

Hello,
UNIX systems may have a file /etc/motd with a short text for showing more or less important information to users on logon time. This usually scrolls out of view quickly in a classic „scrolling“ shell environment. An example would be an announcement about an upcoming maintenance downtime.
I‘m wondering if there is a similar function for 5250 sessions on IBM i, or especially it‘s ancestors.
I understand that the message line text shown at signon time is statically defined in the menu panel group and just once more a copyright reminder by IBM.
I guess, to achieve my goal, I might end up coding a full-fledged main menu myself with the necessary routines to read a message of the day from somewhere and show it in the message line.
Any thoughts about this? Is there an easier way?
Thanks!
:wq! PoC
