RE: How to Dynamically Update Sign On Screen with use of Message File Fields

["Dave George" <editor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

Sorry for the late reply - I have been helping out in one of our former colonies.

 

Did you get this to work? I'm concerned because I have been using this method for years,

without having to recompile the DDS each time a msgd is changed. Nor have I had to restart

qinter, although you do have to end and restart a session.

 

If you need any further help, just shout.

Subject: How to Dynamically Update Sign On Screen with use of Message File Fields

In reference to the article:

 

http://www.rpgenerationx.com/articles/dgeorge1.html

 

I have been testing the above procedure and can not get it to function correctly.   I have placed Message Fields on a Test Sign On Screen that was copied from QDSIGNON.  The fields reference Message Descriptions in a Message File.  Per the referenced article, the goal is to be able to dynamically change the Message Descriptions in the Message File and have then reflect on the Sign On Screen WITHOUT having to recompile the DSPF or end and start the QINTER subsystem.

 

I am finding the changes will not take place unless I recompile the DSPF and restart QINTER.

 

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong ?
