I use the Programmer-name field to distinguish my jobs. It shows up in
SDSF when you View the Alternate field list.
Here is the job card
//BOLANU JOB (...my acct info...),'UNTERSE SEQ_____',
In SDSF, under View, you can display the Alternate fields which include
the Programmer-name and arrange them to suit you. You can switch between
Primary and Alternate fields just by entering a ? on the command line.
