Screen name

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

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

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

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

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

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.
