Display host code page on ACS 5250 session screen

I want to display the host code page on the ACS 5250 session screen.
ACS has multiple Japanese host code pages. These are used appropriately according to the purpose. Therefore, I need to know which code is set.


Use Case:

Windows settings

    This support is available in version 1.1.9.5.. To display the Host Code page as part of the title, select the option at Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Window Setup... To display it as part of the watermark, use the keyword &CODEPAGE in the text field at Edit->Preferences->Watermark...

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.

    In the example, number 2 is assumed.
    For example, CCSID of the new application is 1399 and the old application is 5026. Administrators of these applications must be able to access both at the same time. At that time, the administrator needs to confirm that the host code page is correct.

    Please provide more information for the user scenario for which this is needed. For example:
    1. Is this for a single configured session where the user is changing the host code page setting and then reconnecting?
    2. Is this for multiple configured sessions where each session is using a different host code page?
    Provide any other information which describes the use case.
