        Subject:        RE: Retrieving OS version

        Denis:

        There is a data area in library QUSRSYS called QSS1MRI (at least
there is in V3R7M0) that contains the version information in the first 6
positions.  A previous release (V2R3?) had it in a different data area
(Q5738SS1, not sure if it was in the same library).  I'm not sure why
IBM changed the name of the data area, but if IBM did it, it must have
been for a good reason <bg>!

        hth,
        Bruce Guetzkow


        The 5738 changes with different versions:
5728    V1
5738    V2
5763    V3 CISC
5716    V3 RISC
5769    V4

So they dropped that and just call it QSS1MRI.
