I've used this data area in the past but as it is just data anything can be put in there(i have no idea what relies on it).

I recall in the v5 days I was attempting to install mysql from zend.
It was saved to V5r2 but the install docs said it needed v5r4.
that install looked at the data area, so I changed it and got it installed.

YMMV

I'm also in a shop where the developers don't have authority to DSPPTF - that's why I mentioned using the data area, since I have never heard that someone with command line access is blocked from seeing the contents.

So DSPDTAARA QSS1MRI gives you the VRM - AND it gives you the language code - like 2924 on a US machine. The data area is, after all, giving you information about the MRI - machine-readable information.

And RCVDTAARA is all you need in a CL program - or a couple easy ways to get it in RPG.

Cheers

I can confirm someone else's comment that DSPPTF is blocked in some shops.
I remember looking at an RPG compiler listing to find the version/release
in that scenario.
