Many years ago I set up an INLPGM for all users. It puts the job
name, user name, date, and time into the device text description at

Here's the entire CL program:

/* CHANGE DEVICE TEXT TO USER AND DATE/TIME */

<<SNIP>>

At least consider the more appropriate implementation using a subsystem routing program for the interactive subsystem(s). The INLPGM is not the better choice for something intended to be run for most\all users [or most\all devices] of the interactive subsystem, since any custom initial programs will require either multiple copies of the sample code, or that an invocation of the SamplePgm is correctly maintained in the source of each custom initial program, or that all users use just the one [i.e. no custom versions of] INLPGM.
