SYS$ANNOUNCE, SYSTEM_MANAGEMENT, Dynamic SYS$ANNOUNCE Are you tired of looking at the same old boring message that OpenVMS displays prior to the "Username:" prompt when you log in? You know the one, "Welcome to OpenVMS VAX V6.2" (or something similar). DIGITAL gives you the capability to change this message via the SYS$ANNOUNCE logical name. At first glance, it would appear that this logical name only allows for a static message. This article describes how to write a program that will automatically update SYS$ANNOUNCE every time a user attempts to log in. A sample program is provided from which your own program can be constructed.
