Tailoring the IPCS Dialog to Identify the IPCS Level

Starting with z/OS® Release 2, IPCS identifies the z/OS release for which the version of IPCS being used was intended. This information appears on the IPCS dialog primary option menu. Users who need to customize this panel can access the following ISPF variables to show the release of IPCS being used. The variables are defined in the ISPF shared pool for application BLSG by z/OS R2 and subsequent releases.
