Hello,
Please clarify your request. What is "screen 5" and how did you "swap to it"?
If screen 5 is something you created, you should be able to display anything you want on it.
If you can post an example, that may help. |

Dick, the OP means that he has multiple screens open in his ISPF environment, and wants to know which screen is currently in use.
I usually go (1) my JCL, (2) my REXX, (3) SDSF, and use 4 - 8 for whatever else I am workung on.
I usually type LIST and hit PF9 to see where I am. |

Hi,
The command "SCRNAME ON" will do your job.
Moreover, the command "SWAP LIST" and press Enter also does the same job which is done by "LIST" and press PF9 command.

No problems for that ...
Strangely enough, I have come across countless people, and still do, who only ever use two screens in their ISPF session because they think that's the limit. When I found out about having up to 16 (usually the default is 8) different screens open in ISPF it was a great find. |

Hi,
In ISPF, as suggested, SCRNAME ON command works.
If you have five screens open, as per your requirement, you can name them as:
You can not give only numeric values, so
will not work, this is not allowed in ISPF. SCReenNAMEs should be alphanumeric, first letter may be a letter from alphabet or a national character. After you've given name to screen, use the command
name of that scrren will be shown on left hand upper corner of ISPF screen. |

| One more way to know which screen we are in is to associate the function keys to the different panels, eg. key in KEYS and change for command for PF1 to TSO S;ST , when you press PF1 it will open S;ST for you. offcourse you have use the unused PF keys otherwise you may get confused with their functionality. |
