This is a good RFE.
Just re your PWRDWNSYS comment, for those that don't know you need the System enviroment variable QIBM_PWRDWNSYS_CONFIRM set with the value '*YES'. There are also the variables QIBM_ENDSYS_CONFIRM and QIBM_ENDTCP_CONFIRM.
Have seen what happens on systems that do not have these set. Not nice.
Thanks. Adding the system name to CL command prompts and all IBM and user-created menus automatically should be the priority followed by any and all WORK WITH panels and that followed by whatever remains.
Changing status to Uncommitted Candidate to be prioritized amongst other work items for consideration in a future release.
The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. The system name is valuable information, and would be useful wherever it could be added, even if it's not 100% of the cases. Still, do as many as you can.

The thing that kills the feature ACS offers is TELNET XYZ
As soon as you go to another partition or system from an existing session, the screen watermark is pointless and actually misleading.
The ability to see the system name on CL command prompts is so easy to implement I could do it; so I don't see how using some other interface to NOT get what we need is a viable solution.
There's no "automatically" here. It would be a lot of work to make this happen. With the name on ACS and PCOMM frames, I don't see this as a "high" priority, but more of a nice to have feature.
The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a MEDIUM priority requirement that should be addressed.

Great RFE Bob.
And argue might be that you can tailor the ACS to have another background, however, your counter argument will be: situations, where you have to just TELNET and/or pass through to reach your partition, Or in cases where the 5250-stream is running as a service - like in IceCap. Customization of ACS in these cases will have no effect.
