You haven't had to bifurcate your code like this since z/OS 2.2 which
has the z11 as it's minimum requirement.

Actually, there was no z/OS release that had z196 as its minimum
requirement.
z/OS 2.2's minimum is z10.
z/OS 2.3's minimum is zEC12 (so includes z196).
My bad. I had forgotten you guys jumped ahead two full generations
(skipping over the z11) for the latest ALS! :-[
Regardless, it remains true that as of z/OS 2.3 (and thus for all
in-full-support z/OS releases) you can rely on the availability of IAF2.
We had the bifurcated code in a macro that now tests &SYSOSREL and
doesn't even generate the FLC test and the OIL/NIL path at all for code
targeted for z/OS 2.3 and higher.
