HP ALLBASE/4GL Run-Time Administration Manual

Customized Sign-On 

You can display a customized sign-on screen when an HP ALLBASE/4GL
appplication is started with the -l command line option.

The -l option takes two arguments:  logo_screen and logo_application.
Logo_screen is the name of the window screen that you want to display on
the sign-on screen.  Logo_application is the name of the HP ALLBASE/4GL
application in which logo_screen is defined.  Logo_application must be
preceded by a colon (:).  The -l option and its arguments are ignored if
the -a and -u options are used on the same command line.  If logo_screen 
is not specified, HP ALLBASE/4GL attempts to display the default window
called logo in the application specified.  If the window logo is not
defined, HP ALLBASE/4GL displays the standard HP ALLBASE/4GL logo window.
HP ALLBASE/4GL searches for the window logo_screen in the the application
specified by logo_application.  If logo_application is not specified or
doesn't exist, HP ALLBASE/4GL searches the default application HPlogo.
If the application HPlogo is not defined, HP ALLBASE/4GL displays the
standard HP ALLBASE/4GL logo window. 

Logo_screen must be a window.  If it is a menu or data screen, HP
ALLBASE/4GL ignores it and displays the standard HP ALLBASE/4GL logo
screen.  The developer can use the HP ALLBASE/4GL screen painter to
create the window.  The customised window should only use lines 1 through
14.  Any other lines may be overwritten at run-time.  The top line of the
window is displayed as the second line of the sign-on screen (the
Hewlett-Packard copyright notice occupies the top line).

Refer to your HP ALLBASE/4GL support service for more information about
customised sign-on screens.
