  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  Currently you cannot enter a z/OS system ID beginning with a
  number on the ICAT panel 'Server information'.
  
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  You can specify a z/OS system ID starting with a number. This
  system ID is transformed internally to begin with a character
  0 --> A
  1 --> B
  ...
  9 --> J
  
  The reason for the transformation is that the z/OS system ID is
  used to generate the names of runtime members. Members of a
  partioned dataset cannot begin with a number.
