Panel identifier

You can specify that you want to display panel identifiers in either of two ways:

Select the "Panel identifier" choice from the Identifier pull-down on the ISPF Settings panel action bar, as shown in Figure 1.
Issue the ISPF system command PANELID ON.

When you select "Panel identifier" from the Identifier pull-down, the Panel Identifier panel is displayed.

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

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

This figure shows the top portion of the ISPF Settings panel displayed with the panel 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.
