You can enter this command from any NCL procedure, including the INIT NCL
procedure, by using either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb.
If an LBANNER command is too long to enter from the OCS command input line,
use an NCL procedure to enter the command.
The LTITLE command also changes the appearance of a line on the logon screen,
but in a different position to a line changed by the LBANNER command.
For related information, see the LTITLE and TITLE commands.
