HP ALLBASE/4GL Developer Administration Manual

Sign-On Screen Bypass 

Sign-on screen bypass is not available for the administrator application.

End users and developer users can bypass the HP ALLBASE/4GL sign-on
screen and go directly to the initial action of the application if HP
ALLBASE/4GL is invoked with the -a and -u command line options.  You must
use the -a and -u options together.

For an end user, the -a option takes two arguments:  application_name and
application_passwd.  Application_name is the name of the application that
you want the user to run.  Application_passwd is the password (if any)
defined for the application.  Application_passwd must be preceded by a
colon (:).  If you have specified a default application for an end user
on the end user validation screen, you can leave application_name blank.
If you leave application_name blank and the end user does not have a
default application, HP ALLBASE/4GL exits with an error message.

For a developer user the -a option also uses two arguments:
application_name and security_code.  Application_name is the name of the
application to be developed, and security_code is the development
security code (if any) for the application.  Security_code must be
preceded by a colon (:).  A developer can still access an application
without specifying the security code for the application, but cannot
modify any secured components in the application unless the correct
security code is used.


NOTE  You cannot bypass the HP ALLBASE/4GL sign-on screen and access the
      administ application.  HP ALLBASE/4GL exits with an error message
      if you specify a user_name of administ.
