New Year Greetings from Philly, Is there a way to alter the message that my users receive when I SET LOGIN/INTERACTIVE=0 ? It is easy to understand the necessity of going through the login process - but the "please try later" is hard to take. I would like to be more informative. Thanks, --Curley .__. ._ _.._ ..._ ___ _... .. ... _._. .._ __ _.. . .__ ...__ .... .__. __. PPPPP EEEEEE N N N N !Robert F.

However, you DO control the logical name SYS$ANNOUNCE, which affects the message that gets sent to a terminal BEFORE the Username: prompt. Just put your more informative message in a file (for example, SYS$MANAGER:ANNOUNCE.TXT). Then execute the DCL command: $ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC SYS$ANNOUNCE "@SYS$MANAGER:ANNOUNCE.TXT"
