In a way it's not; a software package can be coded to check as it
initializes whether the hardware functionality it requires exists on the
platform. If it doesn't, it can end gracefully with an appropriate
message.
But my original question was looking for the easiest way to determine
what hardware functionality is actually required for a given set of
assembler programs developed on hardware that is relatively state of the
art with HLASM defaulting to the latest architecture level.

exceeds that set, then you get an error.
I think that is the same thing, just a different approach.

Wouldn't it be nice if the HLASM listing printed the 'highest' value used?
