Unless 'am mistaken, you most likely are talking about SCRNAME, please have a look at below and see if this helps:
Causes the logical screen in which the command is entered to be given the screen name specified. The name can be any set of 2 to 8 characters that conform to member naming rules, except NEXT, PREV, LIST, ON, and OFF.
PERM is an optional parameter to indicate that ISPF does not allow the SCRNAME parameter on a SELECT statement, or the setting of the modifiable system variable ZSCRNAME, to override the value being assigned by this SCRNAME command. The PERM setting lasts for the duration of the logical screen. After you end the logical screen, the setting is no longer active.
SCRNAME ON causes the name that you specify for the screen to be displayed in the panelid area of the screen. SCRNAME OFF removes the screen name from the visible display.
The commands SYSNAME, USERID, PANELID, and SCRNAME share the same 17-character area at the start of the Title line. If more than one of these commands are specified, ISPF displays as many as will fit, in this order of priority: SYSNAME, if specified, is always displayed. Then, as long as there is enough room, USERID is displayed, then PANELID, then SCRNAME.
