Changing the Sign-on Display:
To create your own custom sign-on screen, use a copy of the source provided for the IBM-supplied sign-on display in member QDSIGNON in file QGPL/QDDSSRC.  The following points are critical:

·       DO NOT modify the original source member, copy this member and modify the copy only.

·       For clarity, consider giving your custom sign-on screen a name other than QDSIGNON.

·       DO NOT change the order or size of the IBM-supplied fields within the display file, but you may change the location and display attributes of these fields.

·       DO NOT delete QSYS/QDSIGNON, DO NOT replace QSYS/QDSIGNON. Create your custom sign-on screen in library QGPL, specifying MAXDEV(256) on the CRTDSPF command.

·       Test your custom sign-on screen before changing a subsystem description to use it.

·       DO NOT change the controlling subsystem descriptions QCTL or QBASE.  To change an interactive subsystem (QINTER for example) to use the new display file, use command

CHGSBSD    SBSD(QINTER) SGNDSPF(QGPL/newsignon)

·       End and restart the subsystem for the new sign-on display to take effect with the commands:

ENDSBS     SBS(QINTER)

STRSBS     SBSD(QINTER)
