I presume you're talking about this -
Code:
           Name     Prompt        Alias-of     Size      TTR     AC   AM   RM
_________ SMF1415                            000042A8   000004   00    31   24
_________ TEMPNAME                           000042A8   00000C   00    31   24

The primary use of the PROMPT here is for the RENAME function, where you supply a new member name. For example -
Code:
           Name     Prompt        Alias-of     Size      TTR     AC   AM   RM
_________ SMF1415                            000042A8   000004   00    31   24
r________ TEMPNAME test                      000042A8   00000C   00    31   24
Just for the H of it I tried one of my commands -
Code:
           Name     Prompt        Alias-of     Size      TTR     AC   AM   RM
_________ SMF1415                            000042A8   000004   00    31   24
lmattr___ TEMPNAME nomap                     000042A8   00000C   00    31   24

The generated command appeared to be lmattr 'data-set-name(TEMPNAME)'

I'd bet a CLIST or Rexx exec could obtain the PROMPT text, or even a properly written line mode command, but there does not seem to be a way to get the prompt text to a command line.
