    Although a little clunky it is possible to do this now.

    You use the full GMTEXT for the first 4 lines.
    Then update the DFHSNLE or DFHSNPE members in SDFHSAMP
    (depending if you are using CESN or CESL)
    to add 3 extra lines

    The following is added after the macro at the GMMSG4 label.
    * Additional lines
    DFHMDF POS=(7,1),ATTRB=(ASKIP,BRT),CASE=MIXED,LENGTH=79, *
    INITIAL='Extra line 5'
    DFHMDF POS=(8,1),ATTRB=(ASKIP,BRT),CASE=MIXED,LENGTH=79, *
    INITIAL='Extra line 6'
    DFHMDF POS=(9,1),ATTRB=(ASKIP,BRT),CASE=MIXED,LENGTH=79, *
    INITIAL='Extra line 7'

    You would need to remove the following macro, which is near the top of the member
    to remove line 8 to fit the new lines in.
    DFHMDF POS=(8,1), *
    ATTRB=(ASKIP,NORM), *
    COLOR=GREEN, *
    CASE=MIXED, *
    INITIAL='Type your userid and password, then press ENTER*
    :', *
    LENGTH=48 @L1C

    Is this sufficient for your needs?
