Re: CPC1116 Cannot signon even from console - please help

[Terrence Enger <tenger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Zvi,

Do you still have your problem?  I sure hope that is not a production
machine!

I do not have an IBM i handy at the moment, so all of this is from
memory.  You have been warned.

If the problem is merely a missing initial program, then I would have
expected a user with command line authority to be able to sign on by
entering program name 0 at the signon prompt.  If it is otherwise, then
I have an opportunity to learn something.  Similarly, program QCMD, as
bdietz400 suggested, "should" take such a user directly to the command
entry screen rather than a menu.

Jerry Adams suggests that library QGPL may be missing.  I think--well, I
hope--that would have provoked a different error message at the signon
screen.  You could check that by naming a known nonexistent library at
the signon screen.

If your problem persists, you can try other interfaces to the system.
Both ftp and System i Access allow command entry, and I think the
concept of an initial program is foreign to them.

Please let us know how you are getting on.  If you would like a
telephone call, please let me know off-list.

Cheers,
Terry.
