    Do you want to put a message on *all signon screens...across the company.

    or are you wondering where the error messages are kept?

      Re: Send Message at Sign On Screen

      I want to put only error messages on signon screen when users are unable to sign on or not allow to sign on.

      I have an assignment that doen't allow some users to sign on more than one workstation. If they already signed on at one workstation and try to sign on again from another workstation without signing off the previous one, do not allow them and show an error message at the sign on screen.

      I'm wondering which CL command I should use to show error message right at signon screen.
      I tried SNDMSG, it doesn't work, and SNDPGMMSG works after let users signon to a 2nd workstation and I have to follow with SIGNOFF command.

      Help...

      P.S. I don't know why California is burning down.. All I know is the weather here is perfect for the beach.

        Why not just use a program at signon and display the error message on a screen, then when they see this message they press enter and return the signon screen or if allowed then continue to the regular scheduled program.

        That is exectly what I do. I check the userid at signon and determine if they are allowed to sign in via a schedule, if allowded it contines, it not it writes an error screen then either at enter or specfied time interval signs them off (returns).

        The signon screen has nothing to do with it.

        Good Luck

          just change this system value to 1
          QLMTDEVSSN *SEC Limit device sessions

          in userprofile you can control some or all of the limits
          by:
          Limit device sessions . . . . . LMTDEVSSN *SYSVAL
          or
          Limit device sessions . . . . . LMTDEVSSN *no



          and watch what happens.
