A google search for "base sas splash screen" gave me this as second hit, which led me to this

SPLASH System Option

and this

SPLASHLOC System Option

As you can see, information is just a Google search away (Maxim 6).

From the SPLASHLOC documentation, I take it that you would need to create a separate bitmap for each user and determine in the configuration files from the system User-ID which one to take. Not very practical.

In Display Manager sessions (desktop SAS) you can use Proc GROOVY to directly access the power and gamut of Java, which includes Swing components for message dialogs.

proc groovy;
submit;
  import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

  JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
    null, "Hello there " + System.getProperty("user.name"), "Welcome to SAS",
    JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE
  );
endsubmit;
quit;

Will pop up the dialog window

Other SAS clients:

Enterprise Guide (EG) you will need a custom plug-in,
SAS Studio you may need some html snippets and JavaScript.

The dialog will be modal and block the SAS session until the OK button is clicked, or the dialog is closed. The dialog might be on a second screen or behind the SAS window -- if Windows, does the dialog appear in your Alt-Tab process list ?

How are you starting SAS ?

What does the LOG window show ?
