CICS: can SYSIDNT be echoed in GMTEXT at startup?

Question

I'm a newbie at this. In my CICS startup JCL I am setting a SYSIDNT of SYSIDNT=Hip1. Is it possible to echo this out to the terminal on startup just like I have found I can do with other things like &SYSUID and &APPLID?

If I have something like this:

SYSIDNT=Hip1
GMTEXT='CICS: &SYSUID, &APPLID, &RELEASE at'

Then I see something like this:

CICS: HIPPO01, IJCKBCDM, 730 at 10:47:11

But I cannot get Hip1 echoed out... and I'd like to know if that is possible to achieve. I see Hip1 echoed to screen once CICS is up and running and I'm using various transactions, so I'm positive it's set correctly - it's just that I can't see to tag it onto the GMTEXT.

Answer 1

I believe I got something I'm happy with by using an EXPORT and a SET statement for a new Symbol - I called SYSTEMID - and then assigned that to SYSIDNT and included it within the GMTEXT via &SYSTEMID.

//MYEXP  EXPORT SYMLIST=(SYSTEMID)
//STEP1 SET SYSTEMID=HIP1
