Command output for LI DD,KVTS

We want to work with CUIR. In the output for the Command LI DD,KVTS, should be the jobname and the system name on wich the job is running displayed. We have several TS7700T shared with 21 lpars. It's difficult to find the currently mounted job.

    IBM agrees that it would be beneficial if the LIBRARY DISPDRV command could be used to show the system in which the volume is mounted along with the job that has the volume mounted. Today, with the IBM TS7700, there is information that is sent to the TS7700 (on a mount request) that could help in this area. In the meantime, there are a few commands that may help. There is a MOUNTED option on the LIBRARY DISPDRV command and for auto switchable devices there is the DISPLAY UNIT,,AS command that can be used. The auto switchable command output includes the system name and the job name.
