Hello Alister,

The place to go is NetAttributes, have a look with DSPNETA and
change it with CHGNETA (F4), you then have to IPL to make the
change going active.
Be VERY careful with this change !
There is a lot more links to this value than you probably think of ...
First, let me advise you to change the LU and CP name of your system
as well, if you have more than one system. Otherwise you have different
names for the same system which differs from the real systemname - my
experience is that operating staff gets totally confused about this.
Second : Changing names in the context of LAN/WAN line, controller
and device descriptions is not trivial, you have to go and inspect all your
configs with your partners.
This change is similar to installing a new machine, you should do a savcfg
before if you destroy something during your change.
Personally, I would ask myself, if this effort is worth it, simply for 
satisfying
management ... :-)

Regards from germany, Philipp Rusch
