Command for setting the Command Line at top

Does anybody know any command for setting the command line at top?
We use some mainframe applications that always set the command line at bottom and is really painful... this feature is independent on how do you have the ISPF settings.

like qmf? gotta live with it.
if they are homegrown applications,
correct the code so as to use the user profile to decide where the command
line should be in a panel. (yea, two panels).

Hi genesis,

I have that option as you mention... but the aplic I told... ignores it and set the line at bottom. That's why I'm trying to force it by executing some command from REXX

Regards

It is like if the aplic is not able for retrieving the ISPF profile, so it uses the default options. That's why, at least I would like to put the command line at top... just for avoiding the current solution:
-once enter in the application,
-type settings,
-press intro...

This may work

View the variables in dialog test - usually -7.3
LOCATE ZPLACE
set the value to ASIS

or VPUT ZPLACE with a value of ASIS to the profile pool.

ZPLACE is in the profile pool, so you have to make sure you are changing the right profile for the application you are having problems with.
