I find a difference in ISPF Primary Option Menu panel between IBMUSER and ADCDA in my demo, could anyone help me to find out the reason? tks!

The ADCD's panel:

The IBMUSER's panel:

The reason is that they are set up differently.

Most likely, the logon procedures are different, which means the files allocated will be different, which means the menus may be COMPLETELY different. This is normal and expected on mainframe systems, where the menu presented may be radically different depending upon the job functions of the person logging on.

Thank you very much, do you have any idea about how to set ADCDA'S panel to same with IBMUSER's panel, so I will find my User ID in the ISPF Primary panel. Tks.

Go to the settings (menu item 0). There's a lot you can change there.

Otherwise compare the source code of the two. I sometimes create my own Primary Option Menu panel

I change ADCDA's settings(menu item 0) to the same with IBMUSER's, but unfortunately I still can't find any other information in the ISPF Primary panel.

The source cod of the two? I am a rookie, I don't know where I can find the source code for each individual user, So could you help me? Tks.

If you're a rookie, then this is probably NOT the best place to start messing with. You need to spend weeks -- or months -- learning about z/OS, TSO, and 3270 terminals before you go much further since mucking about with the screen defintiions could leave you with an unusable system. To give you a start, here's some data about the TSO/ISPF main menu screen:Hint: learn to hit the F1 (PF1 to the mainframe) key often -- this usually has help information in TSO/ISPF and may save you a lot of questions.

so I will find my User ID in the ISPF Primary panel.

Use the 'Status' action from the action bar. It is probably 'none' now and should be 'session' to get it to look like IBMUSER's panel.

A rookie playing on an ADCD system, worried about not seeing his userid? Sheesh, somehow me thinks you've got your priorities mixed up ever so slightly...
