Re: system name in access telnet screen and user displays

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ha for a moment there I though I knew where you worked. :-)

This is display only. Not for NetServer or SNA or IP or DB name etc.

***WARNING*** however. I HAVE seen where CUSTOMER programs do RTVNETA 
and then based on the value returned for SYSNAME do 'stuff'. So while 
this won't affect any IBM software it could affect yours!
