Hmm - I seem to have lost the message thread here but if we're talking
about programs that are misbehaving then Abend-AID (and I assume its ilk)
will give you the compile date, link date and associated library for every
active program. Language and LE independent.
He is right not because Abend-AID has occult skills but because ALL IBM
language processors, the linkage editor and the binder write IDRs---See the
discussion of the IDENTIFY statement in z/OS
MVS Program Management: Users Guide and Reference, SA22-7643---that
identify rhem, their versions, etc., and provide a time stamp. In a
compiled and bound program object there will thus be two IDRs, the first
supplied by the compiler and the second supplied by the binder.
Perhaps worth noting explicitly is that user IDRs can also be generated, via
an IDENTIFY statement, and that such an IDR could be used, redundantly but
perhaps conveniently, to resolve the problem that I think we are discussing.
