System name

You can specify that you want to display the system name in either of two ways:

Select the "System name" choice from the Identifier pull-down on the ISPF Settings panel action bar.
Issue the ISPF system command SYSNAME ON.

When you select "System name" from the Identifier pull-down, the System Name Identifier panel is displayed.

If you select the "Display system name identifier" option, the system name identifier is set to On. The identifier will now display in the panelid area. Deselect this choice (or issue the SYSNAME OFF command) to set the system name identifier to Off.

This setting only applies to the current ISPF session. To retain the setting across ISPF sessions, select "Default setting for system name".

This figure shows the top portion of the ISPF Settings panel displayed with the screen identifier set to On.

Note: The commands SYSNAME, USERID, PANELID, and SCRNAME share the same 17-character area at the start of the Title line. If more than one of these commands are specified, ISPF displays as many as will fit, in this order of priority: SYSNAME, if specified, is always displayed. Then, as long as there is enough room, USERID is displayed, then PANELID, then SCRNAME.
