How to call API with different parms over different releases

Hello,

I am looking at creating a command that calls an API that uses different (additional) parms over various releases. What I would like to do is create a command that uses this API and will run on multiple releases (starting at V5r2), but still be able to use the new options that were added in later releases.

I could make the command dumb and only use the options that were available in V5R2, but I don't really want to do that.

About all I can come up with so far is to create different versions of the command (including help text, command processor and validity checker) for each release where the API parms were enhanced. Then when the "application" is restored to a machine, determine the current release for that machine and do a bunch of renames to get the latest version that would run on that release during the post install process

This sounds doable, but also sounds messy.

Does anyone have any other options or ideas?

Thanks
