Display DFHCSD being accessed by CEDA/B/C

We have a client that has many CICS CSDs. We are in the process of consolidating them, but it is a long process.

It is convenient to have a "CSDOR" (CSD-Owning-Region) to allow a single point where CEDA/B/C can be used to manage any CSD and to that end I have developed a front-end to CEDA/B/C that allows any of a number of CSDs to be edited/displayed by CEDA/B/C.

It would be helpful to be able to display the dataset name of the CSD that CEDA/B/C is managing. Not only for the above reason, but also to verify that you are say, in a Testing environment as opposed to a Production one.

I suggest either of two fairly simple options:
1) A PF-Key could be allocated to display the CSD dataset name.
2) There is enough room to the left of the "SYSID=ssss" and "APPLID=aaaaaaaa" that is displayed on the third last line of the CEDA/B/C screens to include "CSDDSN=" (or "CSD=") followed by a 44-character CSD dataset name.

I expect option 2 would be the easiest to implement.
