The DDS keyword, SYSNAME, automatically incorporates the system name into your display files. It works much like the two other DDS keywords, DATE and TIME, which have been in existence for years.

By the same token, there's a DDS keyword, USER, which brings the user profile name to your display files. Both SYSNAME and USER can be easily added to your display files while in SDA by using the *SYSNAME and *USER commands; again, this works like *DATE and *TIME.

It's too bad IBM didn't take this a bit further and make SYSNAME and USER available to printer files as well as display files. After all, DATE and TIME can be included in printer files.
